The 1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a recorded mintage of 246,000 coins — the 2nd-lowest of the 65 circulation-strike issues in the walking liberty half dollar series, and 25% of the 1,002,000 walking liberty half dollars the Mint produced across all facilities in 1921.
A quarter of a million halves in the year the Treasury sat on bags of unwanted 1920s - the postwar surplus wrote the mintage.
A full collector's note for this issue — survival, strike character, and what to check before buying — is on the writing schedule; the figures above are the permanent record.
