The mintage of the 1921-D is the lowest of the entire Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series at just 208,000. It is the most valuable Walker in circulated grades trailing only the 1919-S and 1921-S in Mint State. It is still very rare in uncirculated grades up to MS66 at which point it is an extreme rarity. Solid strikes, nice luster and varying levels of toning can be found with a closer look.
Obverse Description
Liberty portrayed standing on a rock, facing left, with flowing robes and her right hand outstretched with a star-covered drapery flowing behind her. I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left. The word LIBERTY frames the periphery and date appears at the bottom center. and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in the right field.
Reverse Description
A large eagle perched on a rock, facing left with wings elevated in a defensive posture. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR appear on the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM sits atop a small olive branch left of the eagle. The mintmark is small, and placed below the olive branch near the left rim.
