1944-D 50C, MS

Description

1944-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar, MS67. This exceptional example of the 1944-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar represents the final year of this iconic series, which graced American coinage from 1916 to 1947. The Denver Mint mark on the reverse confirms West Coast production during World War II, a period when precious metal content remained at the standard 90% silver composition. The coin has been certified by NGC as MS67, indicating an impressive near-gem level of preservation with only minor imperfections visible under magnification. The Walking Liberty design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, remains one of the most celebrated and artistically significant compositions in United States numismatic history. The obverse depicts Lady Liberty in graceful stride, while the reverse features an eagle at rest, both rendered with exceptional detail and artistic merit. At the MS67 grade level, this specimen displays strong luster, well-defined striking details, and excellent eye appeal—qualities that make it highly desirable to both type collectors and date-specific specialists. The 1944-D is a solid date within the Walking Liberty series with respectable mintage figures, making it accessible to collectors while maintaining steady collector demand. The MS67 grade represents a significant achievement in preservation, as most examples from the wartime era tend to show more evidence of circulation or handling. This coin would serve as an excellent addition to a complete Walking Liberty set or an advanced collection of World War II-era coinage. NGC Certification Number: 8418610005
