1941 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar PCGS MS67

The year 1941 saw dramatic increases in production for all Walking Liberty halves, especially at the mint in Philadelphia. As collectors would expect, survival rates increased due to larger mintages, and more coins were saved as the nation emerged from the Great Depression. This was the start of a boom in coin collecting.

The 1941 Philadelphia issue is among the most common Walkers in unc and gem condition. Ron Guth writes, “The typical 1941 is very sharply struck. Luster can be white and frosty."

PCGS has graded 835 as MS67 with 207 finer. Collector's Universe prices this issue at $650.00 in MS67.

NGC Coin Explorer writes, “This issue had the highest mintage to date for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar series, a reflection of America's entry into World War II with its heightened economic activity. Well struck and lustrous gems are readily available through MS-67.”
