A replica will look as close to the original as the manufacturer can make it with the difference being they are supposed to mark replicas with the word "COPY" somewhere on the coin. If it is not marked then it is counterfeiting , a Federal offense.
Since it is a replica, it has absolutely no collector value. However, depending on what material the coin is made of it might have value for scrap. If the coin was made of 90% pure gold like the original, it would be worth ~1600. If such a coin was made in 90% silver, it would be worth ~$20. However, chances are your coin is made out of gold plated copper, nickel, or some other near-worthless metal and is only worth a couple of cents.
Really nothing. The only time a replica coin is worth something is if it is made out of a precious metal like gold or silver, then it is worth the amount of that metal that is in the coin
It sounds like you have a gold-plated and silver walking liberty half dollar coin. The coin's value will depend on factors like its condition, rarity, and collector demand. Typically, gold-plated coins do not significantly increase the value, so its worth will be primarily based on the silver content and collectibility of the coin. It would be best to have a coin dealer or appraiser evaluate the coin for a more accurate assessment of its value.
Do you see large letters like MCMLXXXVI is the Roman Numeral for 1986

If you are talking about the replica in Odaiba, it is the same as the ones in France.
If it says COPY it's a replica - almost certainly not real gold, just gold-colored. These usually sell for a few dollars. There's nothing wrong with a legitimate replica coin. It's a way for the average person to have an inexpensive version of something rare and beautiful, a bit like buying a reproduction of a famous painting to hang in your living room.
If the Roman numerals given are correct, the date is 1907. But the rest of the description is a little confusing, it has two eagles on the reverse? And the fact you think it looks like 2 pieces put together makes me think it's a replica of some type. I suggest you take it to a coin dealer for an assessment.
All U.S. coins dated 1943 have the word LIBERTY on them, but no U.S. coin is called a "LIBERTY" coin. For 1943 the denominations are: Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, Mercury dimes, Washington quarters and Walking Liberty half dollars.
You have a normal half dollar coin that was plated with a small amount of gold by a private company and sold as a collectible. While it is quite attractive (even unaltered, the Walking Liberty design is considered by many to be one of the 2 or 3 most beautiful U.S. coins) it has no special value to coin experts. In fact, it's considered to be an altered coin worth only its silver value of about $7.
It doesn't sound like a genuine US coin. There were no silver dollars struck from 1905 to 1920 inclusive, and no gold $1 commemorative coins were struck in 1913.Please put any additional information you might have about this coin in the Discussion Area.
