The latest December 24th Colorado Conductor Coin Auction from Gold Standard Auctions will offer over 900 pieces, including foreign and American currency. Among the top lots is a 1938 Walking Liberty half dollar coin. Walking Liberty coins were issued by the U. S. Mint from 1916 to 1947. On the obverse, Lady Liberty is seen walking toward the sun while carrying oak and laurel branches, symbolizing prestige in military and civil affairs, surrounded by stars and stripes. The reverse of the coin depicts an eagle atop a mountain crag, extending its wings. Additionally, the design includes a mountain pine sapling, representing the nation. This Walking Liberty 50-cent coin contains just a modest amount of silver compared to sterling silver, with 90% silver, compared to 92.5% silver in sterling.

Collectors can also consider an 1883 Kingdom of Hawaii dime. The silver Kalakaua coinage of the Kingdom of Hawaii was put into circulation in 1883 to strengthen the pride of its people. The obverse of the coin depicts King Kalakaua I, along with the date. On the reverse, a laurel wreath surrounds the words ONE DIME, and UMI KENETA in Hawaiian. The motto of the Hawaiian people, UA MAU KE EA KA AINA I KA PONO, appears on the reverse as well. In size and purity, the Hawaiian Dime is similar to the U. S. Dimes.
