Owner Comments:

This was the last year that the Walking Liberty Half Dollar was minted. It was replaced by the Franklin Half Dollar. The mint director was an admirer of Benjamin Franklin and thought he should be the subject of the new coin to replace the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The Walking Liberty had been minted since 1916. It was replaced because that the mint directors believed that the coins should be changed every 25 years.
