This week marks the birth of one of the most significant sculptors and coin designers in American history, Adolph Alexander Weinman. As a pioneer of the American Coin Renaissance and the designer of the Mercury Dime and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, numismatists around the world cherish his stunning coin designs. Of course, Weinman did not start out as a numismatic icon, but as an adolescent immigrating to America.

America’s dedication to producing the finest coinage has been felt throughout the world since the origin of our country. The iconic Walking Liberty design perfectly exemplifies this steadfast dedication to numismatic excellence. Designed by legendary American artist, Adolph Weinman, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was minted from 1916 to 1947.
