The Walking Liberty obverse – Adolph A. Weinman's 1916 design, originally on the silver Half Dollar – is widely considered the finest allegorical silver coin design in American numismatic history. The reverse was redesigned in 2021 for the first time since 1986: Emily Damstra's new eagle-in-flight image with enhanced anti-counterfeiting features. The 2021 coin uniquely exists with both old and new reverses – a numismatic milestone making it exceptionally collectible.
