Description
1 Oz Walking Liberty Copper Round
Some coin designs transcend their era. Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty — first struck on the American half dollar in 1916 — is one of them. Widely considered the most beautiful design ever to grace U.S. coinage, it has endured for over a century as a symbol of American idealism and artistic ambition. This 1 oz Copper Round brings that legacy forward in .999 pure copper, reimagined for the modern collector by Heidi Wastweet, an internationally acclaimed sculptor and coin designer whose bas-relief work is recognized worldwide.
The result is something genuinely special: a classic made new, in a metal with its own rich history and warm, distinctive character.
Round Highlights
- A Design for the Ages: Weinman's Walking Liberty depicts Lady Liberty in full stride, draped in the American flag and bearing branches of laurel and oak — symbols of civil and military glory. It is, by nearly any measure, the pinnacle of American coin art.
- Reimagined by a Master: Sculptor Heidi Wastweet has brought her contemporary expertise in bas-relief to this tribute, adding modern refinement while honoring every detail of Weinman's original vision.
- 999 Pure Copper: Each round is struck from one full troy ounce of .999 pure copper — an accessible and increasingly popular metal among collectors who appreciate the artistry without the silver premium.
- Brilliant Uncirculated Condition: Every round arrives with a crisp, unblemished strike — ready for display, gifting, or careful storage.
- A Worthy Reverse: The flip side features a perched American eagle — another cornerstone of U.S. numismatic tradition — rendered with the same care and fidelity as the obverse.
- Privately Minted: Produced outside the government mint system, this round carries no face value — its worth is in its artistry, its craftsmanship, and its story.
Design Details
- Obverse: Lady Liberty strides confidently forward, her figure draped in the Stars and Stripes, left arm extended with laurel and oak branches. The sun rises behind her — a timeless image of optimism and forward motion.
- Reverse: A proud American eagle perches at rest, wings folded, a symbol of strength and sovereignty that has appeared on U.S. coinage since the earliest days of the Republic.

History & Design
Adolph A. Weinman was already one of America's foremost sculptors when Treasury Secretary William McAdoo selected him to redesign two U.S. coins simultaneously — the dime and the half dollar — in 1916. His Walking Liberty half dollar debuted that same year and remained in production until 1947, circulating through two World Wars and the Great Depression. Throughout it all, the image of Liberty in stride never lost its power.
Heidi Wastweet's modern interpretation of that design carries the same quiet confidence — and in copper, it takes on a warm, earthy character all its own. Proof that truly great art doesn't age, it only deepens.
