Walking Liberty Half Dollars, commonly referred to as “Walkers” are a very popular coin series for coin collectors. The U.S. Mint begin the series in 1916 and ended in 1947, and the key dates of the series include 1921 and 1921-D. Also, the only coin of it’s time to have dates (1916 and 1917) featured with mint mark on the obverse and the reverse, as two separate types.

However, Walking Halves demand a high premium in the higher grades, making it very important for collectors to learn how to grade this series properly. That’s why CoinHELP! offers a picture grade comparison chart for Half Dollar collectors. Many of our members use our photo picture guides, to compare to ebay coin auction pictures, to gain a more reliable method to help determine the grade of the coin they are bidding on.
