Designer: Adolph Alexander Weinman Content: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Weight: 12.50 grams Diameter: 30.00 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 9,522,200 General Description: In 1916 the design of Adolph A. Weinman was selected for the new half dollar motif to replace the Barber design which had been in use since 1892. Weinman, a sculptor, also produced the Liberty Head or “Mercury” dime introduced the same year. The obverse depicts Miss Liberty walking toward the sun, her right arm outstretched, her left arm carrying a bundle of branches, and with a starry cape behind. LIBERTY is above, while IN GOD WE TRUST is to the lower right, and the date is below. The motif seems to have been inspired by Saint-Gaudens’ motif for the illustrious double eagle of 1907. The reverse shows an eagle perched on a rocky crag, from which grows a pine branch, symbol of strength. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above, E PLURIBUS UNUM is to the left, and HALF DOLLAR is below. The design has been a favorite with numismatists ever since the time of issue, and many consider it to be one of the most beautiful motifs ever employed on a circulating coin. (Source: Bowers, Q.

It is rarer than the 1936 and 1939, but not as rare as the 1934, 1935, and 1938. Luster is usually white and frosty and strike is typically sharp. (Source: Hall, David.
