Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman (December 11, 1870 � August 8, 1952) an American sculptor born in Germany. Although Weinman is now best known as a numismatist, when he was once introduced as such he vehemently denied being one and said that he was an architectural sculptor. Despite his objections he is still best remembered as the designer of the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty Half Dollar along with various medals for the Armed Services. Commonly referred to as the "Walker", this coin was issued from 1916 until 1947. On the coins issued in 1916 and some of the coins issued in 1917, the mintmark is found on the obverse below the motto. This beautiful Lucite sculpture stands 8 1/4" tall, is 9" wide and weighs in at a hefty three pounds and would make a great gift for that favorite numismatist in your life, even if that happens to be you.
