How rare is it?

Bars are scaled to keep the smallest mintages visible; the exact figure is printed on every row. Mintage is coins struck, not coins surviving — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further.

Why it matters

01

Lowest mintage of any date in the entire Walking Liberty Half Dollar series: 208,000 pieces.

02

Highest MS-63 value of the three 1921 key dates ($15,272, vs. $10,039 for 1921-P) -- though the 1921-S, despite a larger mintage, is scarcer still in top grade due to weak strikes and heavy circulation.

Buying a 1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar

What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 208,000-coin mintage.

  1. Read the grade before the price

    The same date runs from about $301 worn to $15,272 at the top of the scale — a 51× spread. Nearly all of that gap is condition, not the date on the coin, so work out where an example sits on the table above before deciding whether its asking price is fair.

  2. Look hard at the D mint mark

    Every figure on this page depends on that D. The same year from another mint is a far more common coin, which is exactly why added and altered mint marks are the usual way this date gets faked. Ask for a close-up of the mark itself — a listing title claiming it is not evidence.

  3. At this price, buy it certified

    A PCGS or NGC holder settles authenticity and grade in one go, which is most of what you're actually paying for at this level. The premium it adds is small next to the cost of being wrong about either.

  4. Compare sellers, not price guides

    Every Walking Liberty Half Dollar listed here is priced by an individual seller, so the same coin in the same grade can differ by a wide margin on any given day. Sort by price, check Metal Points and order history for a sense of the seller's record, and message them if the photos don't show enough to grade confidently.
