1944-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
Many coin enthusiasts believe the Walking Liberty silver half dollar to be one of the most attractive circulating coins minted. The design history began when sculptor Adolph Weinman won a competition held by the Commission on Fine Arts. He was given the commission to design this coin and the dime. However, this wasn’t Weinman’s first design for the coin. The 1944-D Walking Liberty half dollar is a great example of Denver mint issued coins. As with other Denver Walkers, the “D” mint mark can be found on the reverse of the coin, by the eagle’s perch. It is very nicely struck. The 1944-D Walking Liberty usually has a terrific white frosty luster.
1944-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar Value, Scarcity, and Key Dates
The 1944-D Walking Liberty silver half dollar value can be as low as $9 for a low-grade circulated coin and can go up to $40 for an uncirculated higher-grade coin. In mint or Gem condition the 1944-D is more scarce than the 1945-D and 1946-D Walking Liberty silver half dollar. It is not as rare as the 1941-D, 1942-D or 1943-D Walking Liberty coins. Still, even a coin that is not in good condition is worth more to a coin collector than a precious metal collector. Both values exceed the face value of the coin. Walking Liberty half dollar key dates do not include the 1944-D Walking Liberty coin.
