A Century of Liberty — Reborn in Gold and Silver
The 2026-W Walking Liberty Gold/Silver Set is one of the most historically resonant releases of the entire 250th anniversary program. It pairs two exquisite coins in a single tribute to Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic 1916 Walking Liberty design — the most beloved coin design in American numismatic history — certified by NGC at the perfect SP70 Advanced Release grade and bearing the autograph of former U.S. Treasurer Anna Escobedo Cabral.
The 1916 Design: 110 Years of Beauty
Adolph Weinman’s Walking Liberty — first struck in 1916 on the half dollar — depicts Lady Liberty striding confidently toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag, one of the most majestic figures ever to grace a U.S. coin. The design was so admired that it was revived in 1986 as the obverse of the American Silver Eagle, where it remains today. This 2026 gold coin recreates that original half-dollar format in ½ troy oz of .9999 fine gold, struck at the historic West Point Mint.
Liberty Bell / 250 Privy Mark
Both coins bear the exclusive Liberty Bell “250” Privy Mark recognizing America’s Semiquincentennial — 250 years of independence. This privy mark appears on only a limited production of the set and is one of the defining features of the 2026 commemorative coin landscape.
Set Contents
The set includes a 2026-W ½ oz .9999 Gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar paired with a 1 oz .999 Fine Silver Medal, both struck at West Point and both certified NGC SP70 (Specimen finish — a pristine, matte-like proof quality). The total mintage of this set is limited to 30,000 sets.
