1921 Walking Liberty half dollar value guide -- the key-date trio's Philadelphia issue, mintage, and grade-by-grade prices.
Condition drives the price — full breakdown below.
246,000 struck — against the other key dates in the Walking Liberty Half Dollar series.
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.
Lowest Philadelphia mintage of the entire series at 246,000 pieces; forms the widely recognized "1921 key-date trio" with 1921-D and 1921-S.
A G-4 example is valued at $195, over 5x the typical G-4 value of common late-1930s/1940s dates in this series, reflecting scarcity even in low grade.
Other dates and varieties in this series
What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 246,000-coin mintage.
The same date runs from about $195 worn to $10,039 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.
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.
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.
