Offered here is an authentic 1945 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint and certified by PCGS as MS-65.

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was produced from 1916 through 1947 and is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated designs in American coinage. The Philadelphia Mint produced 31,502,000 Walking Liberty Half Dollars in 1945.
