Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollars

The modern american proof sets began in 1936 and included the walking liberty half dollar. Proof walking liberty halves were struck in 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, and 1942. A complete set of proof walkers consists of only seven coins. All proof walkers are scarce and can seldom be acquired from under $1000. The most valuable is the first year, 1936, in which only 3,901 were struck. The proof mintages increased every year as the hobby of coin collecting grew in popularity. The final year of the proof walking liberty half dollar was 1942, in which 21, 120 were struck.
