All right, so I'm definitely too young and healthy to actually need a cane to help me walk around town (or so I keep telling myself), but that doesn't mean I can't use a stylish walking stick, right? And what better walking stick could I hope for than one with a Walking Liberty half dollar on it? Pity it only shows the obverse, but still...   [Hopefully, no rare date coin was destroyed in the making of this item.] Oh, and in case anybody is wondering, I do still have hair under that hat. Just not as much (or as dark) as I once did...

It'll help you walk tall AND fend off bad guys.

Now that's cool! Have you thought about popping off the half to check out the date and then put it back on?

Nope, not gonna try taking it apart. It cost me too much to risk doing that.

I see, that is quite understandable to keep it as is.

A stick allows the owner to retain some freedom (liberty) for longer. Thus, a Walking Liberty would be the most appropriate coin.
I agree; the obverse would have been better.

I found it on ebay. It looks vintage, but it was actually brand new.

Nice walking stick. I saw an identical one at a thrift store last week.
