This Walking Liberty Half Dollar variety has the mintmark appearing on the obverse, though many collectors just view it as part of the regular set. Three others have a similar distinction but, this issue happens to be the most common in uncirculated condition. Circulated grades are relatively plentiful but not common. This variety is scarce through MS64, very scarce in MS65 and considered rare in MS66.
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. The mint mark appears below the motto.
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.
