The Original, Not the Revival
Before it was reborn on the Silver Eagle, it was just money.
Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty half dollar was struck for circulation from 1917 to 1947 — through the First World War, the Depression, and the Second World War.
Unlike the modern American Silver Eagle that later revived Weinman's design as a bullion coin, this was never meant to sit in a vault. It was spent, saved, passed hand to hand, and often worn smooth by three decades of ordinary use.
Numismatists have long called it one of the most beautiful coins the U.S. Mint ever struck. This ring begins with one of the originals — a high quality specimen of the coin that actually lived American history.
