The Challenge & Allure of the 1927-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar
June 18, 2026
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar series boasts a bevy of key dates and scarcities that keep collectors on their toes, and the emissions from the 1920s are no exception. In fact, the run of 1920s-dated Walking Liberty Half Dollars may just be the most collectively challenging of the lot.
Several years (1922, 1924, 1925, 1926) saw no Walking Liberty Half Dollars at all. Only one U.S. Mint facility produced the coin during a few other years (1923, 1927, 1928). A handful of key dates rolled out during the decade (1921, 1921-D, and 1921-S), and many of the halves from across the decade rightfully claim semi-key status.
