Adolph A. Weinman was a artist as a trade. In 1915 United State of America Mint Director Robert W. Wolley assumed they required different styles regarding a half dollar coin, 1/4 dollar, as well as ten cent coins. Weinman had been dissatisfied concerning those put forward from its mints employees then requested some sculptors about model plans. Weinman’s had been selected for a one half dollar, plus a ten cent silver coin. United States of America Mint employee George T. Morgan (artist for the Morgan silver dollar coin) aided Weinman in 1918 with various design concerns.

Regardless that it may be a much loved design both Liberty as well as the eagle show wear even in ‘Very Fine’ condition. It had been a situation that they made an effort to correct in the course of the decades of striking through working on each hub which makes each master engraving. It appears to be wise to look at the lettering for differentiate the various conditions of ‘Poor’ thru ‘Good’. Pertaining to ‘VG’ to ‘XF consider the bald wing along with Liberty’s tree branches. In general, these surfaces should correspond with a general use information.
