• The Walking Liberty Half Dollar, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, was struck from 1916 to 1947
• This complete set contains one example from each issue, making up 65 coins
• The issues struck during the final years of the series are the most popular to collect due to their mintage during World War II
• Weinman’s Walking Liberty obverse is considered one of the most inspiring American designs
