This is the final year of issue out of the Philadelphia Mint for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Series. Ending the series makes this a very popular type coin. It is also common with just the finest MS67 being slightly scarcer than other 1940’s issues from the same Mint. The 1947’s come well struck with quality luster.

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.
