Sunshine Mint remakes the Walking Liberty fifty cent piece into a 1oz Pure Silver Round - flanked by a pair of Sunshine Mint logo 1oz Silver Rounds.
Walking Liberty half dollar
The Walking Liberty half dollar is another classic coin - originally minted by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1947. The original 50-cent piece coin was 90% silver / 10% copper, with a 30.63mm diameter, a 1.8mm thickness, and a weight of 12.5 grams. The coin was designed by a sculptor and engraver named Adolph A. Weinman. The coin features a walking Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, with the sun on the east horizon - the flip side of the coin features a bald eagle rising from a mountain top branch perch (Source).
Walking Liberty 1oz Silver
The Walking Liberty remake coin from Sunshine Mint weighs 1oz and is .999 Pure Silver. The Walking Liberty side is very close to the original, the main noticeable difference is that the original coin has the mint year at the bottom of the coin instead of the text "SMI".
The Walking side features Lady Liberty walking to the left with her right arm outstretched, and the left arm cradling one olive branch. The sun is at the bottom left, shining behind her, the American flag draped over her shoulder. The text "LIBERTY" stretches along the outside curve of the upper half of the coin. To the right of the Lady are the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" - the bottom of the coin has the text "SMI", Sunshine Mint logo.
Eagle Side differences
The Eagle side of this Sunshine Mint pure silver remake is very different from the original half dollar. The original Walking Liberty eagle Side of the coin has the eagle moving to the left, with the US motto text "E PLURIBUS UNUM" to the left of the eagle. The original bottom of the eagle side only has the text "HALF DOLLAR". The original also doesn't have the stars above the eagle, or the mint mark in the center.

Eagle Side remake
The eagle side of this Silver remake has the bald eagle in the middle with outstretched wings, with the text "E PLURIBUS UNUM" scrolled across the eagles chest. The eagle is clutching an olive branch with one clutch, six arrows with the other. There are thirteen stars above the eagle, and the text "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" along the outside curve of the top half of the coin. The bottom half of the coin has the text "ONE TROY OZ .999 FINE SILVER".
Sunshine Mint Marks
The Sunshine Mint mark circle is in the center of most Sunshine Mint rounds, with the text "MINT MARK S1" along the top and bottom curve of the mark circle - with a clear acrylic decoder card held over the Mint Mark circle, the text "VALID" appears across the center of the Mark (Source).
Sunshine Mint logo Rounds
These 1oz Sunshine Mint logo Rounds are .999 Pure Silver. Sunshine Mint is located in the silver rich Coeur D’Alene, Idaho - A world leader in precious metals, and is a supplier to the US and other governmental mints, financial institutions, and private corporations (Source).
The Eagle side of the Sunshine Mint logo Round has an eagle in the center swooping down with it's talons, the sun is in the center, behind the eagle with radial sunshine rays emanating outward. Along the top curve of the coin is the text "SUNSHINE", along the bottom curve is the text "MINTING".
The back side of the Sunshine Mint logo Round has the same sun in the center with the sunshine rays emanating outwards. The top curve of the coin has the text "ONE TROY OUNCE", along the bottom curve of the coin has the text ".999 FINE SILVER", in the center of the round is the Mint Mark.
Walking Liberty is a classic US half dollar coin design - this Sunshine Mint 1oz pure silver remake, and the pair of 1oz Sunshine Mint logo Rounds are fine silver additions.
Iconic and classic, It's all in the details, as if the designers keep emphasizing over and over again, "Silver is money."
It's even in the USA constitution.. gold and silver is the only currency, unfortunately people forget :) With inflation, people are starting to remember, 16 states are bringing gold and silver back allowing people to pay property tax with it, nice.
Beautiful rounds I got em from , silvergoldbull too. What's that hive thing a lighter? How can I get something like that ?
Nice, yeah the Hive thing is a lighter, the tan platform with the hive logo is an upside down frisbee :) My wife has a Cricut vinyl sticker cutting machine, so she made some hive logo stickers.. eventually I'll get her to make up a #silvergoldstackers to add to the frisbee tray. The hive logo is pretty simple, it could be printed on a label and exacto knifed, if desired, to be added to any object.
One of my favorite coin designs ever. Great score.👍

I have plenty of Walking Liberty Half Dollars that I found in Circulation... I even have a 1938-D in Brand New Beautiful Condition... No, it's not graded, but I know it's worth plenty...
Very nice, I'll eventually come across one someday :)
Mine is better than the ones seen in the PCGS Listings... I have some Rare U.S. Coins that would blow everyone away in the SGS Community... I also have some of the Earlier Sunshine Mint's Silver Rounds...
The design and shiny looks are really good and one can surely think of owing.
