Adolph A. Weinman started working on a new coin design for the nations half-dollar piece in 1916. Part of a wider effort by the federal government to redesign all of the nations currency, Weinman created the image now known as Walking Liberty. It featured Lady Liberty walking toward the setting sun with an American flag draped over her shoulders. The creation was representative of the nations constant march toward a brighter future.

The 2002 Proof American Silver Eagle coins in this APR 57 listing are available as perfect specimens according to the PCGS. Each coin has its full, original mint luster, and features no detracting flaws or blemishes of any kind on its surfaces.

As a deep-cameo product, these coins are available with a strong, frosted finish on the design set and features of the coin. The background field is deeply-mirrored and clear, which creates a stunning contrast between the design and background that makes the image of Lady Liberty appear to float above the coins surface.

On the obverse youll find Weinmans Walking Liberty depiction as it appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947. The reverse features the image of the heraldic eagle created by John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
