Half dollars hold a special place in American coin collecting, tracing back to their debut in 1794 with the Flowing Hair design. Although initial reactions were mixed due to Lady Liberty's portrayal, subsequent designs like the Draped Bust half dollar from 1796-1797 became coveted pieces, despite their scarcity.

With only around 3,198 minted during those years, and a mere 300-400 surviving to the present day, these coins are prized possessions among collectors. The introduction of the Draped Bust with Heraldic Eagle reverse in 1801 further cemented the half dollar's significance in numismatic circles.

Among the most celebrated half dollar designs is Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty, revered as one of the most beautiful silver coins. Its timeless elegance captured the imagination of collectors and was even resurrected in 1986 for the iconic American Silver Eagle program, ensuring its legacy lives on.
