Answer 1

No one can actually answer this question for you did not list the grade of the coin. Since it is in a PCGS holder it maybe high grade. Without a grade no one can give you a value, they are all guessing. I don't have the time to go to the link. Go to www.PCGS.com and see what they think their graded coin is worth. It is a retail price and dealers pay less.

Answer 2

I'm a coin collector, so I'll answer your question.

The value of a coin is not necessarily based on how old it is, but rather on the condition it is in. If the Walking Liberty half dollar is well-worn, then it has a value about equal to its silver content: around $5-7. But if it is in almost uncirculated condition, and particularly in uncirculated condition, then the value will go up. Uncirculated Walking Liberty hald dollars are highly prized (although the ones from the '40s are less so because they were so much more common).

Answer 3

the vast majority of coins, even old coins, are worth little more than face value. this is because so many of them are made in the first place, plus people try not to lose them theres always lots of them around therefore its rare that a premium is attached to them - if you get more than a buck id be surprised
