W is the monogram of the designer, A. A. Weinmann. The mint mark location is on the back side, at the 8:00 position
W is the designer's initial (A. A. Weinman). The mint mark location is on the back at roughly the 8:00 position - blank, D, or S. Regardless of mint mark, 1943 is not a rare date for half dollars. As of 01/2009 it's worth $6 - $8 for its silver content.
A mint mark on any coin is a letter or symbol indicating where it was made. In the case of a 1943 Walking Liberty half, the mint mark location is on the back, at roughly the 8:00 position. No letter = Philadelphia S = San Francisco D = Denver
They are still found in circulation, have no silver and are only face value
If the coin has any wear the value is for the silver, about $8.50
The 1943-S Walking Liberty half dollar is not has common as no mint mark coins of the same date but does not carry much additional value. Most coins of this era show heavy wear. With silver now so high ($35) as I write this, the coin's value is mostly from the silver content. As silver as increased in price, the numismatic value has been passed. Based on silver, most dealers would give you around $10.00 for it if in average condition. if cleaned/abused then less. If this was in Mint State, then much more.
