The 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a recorded mintage of 548,000 coins — the 5th-lowest of the 65 circulation-strike issues in the walking liberty half dollar series, and 55% of the 1,002,000 walking liberty half dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1921.
Higher mintage than its 1921 siblings but the toughest of the trio in mint state - the coins were made, then worked.
