What is the value of an 1836 walking liberty silver dollar?

Please check the coin again and post new question. The Walking liberty design was first used on half dollars in 1916.A genuine 1836 US silver dollar would have a picture of a seated Miss Liberty on the front and a flying eagle on the back. 1836 is a fairly rare date for Seated Liberty dollars so any such coin should be authenticated by an expert.If your coin really has an 1836 date and a Walking Liberty design it's a badly-made counterfeit.

"Capped Bust" refers to the image of Liberty represented on the obverse of the coin. A similar image was used for all US silver coins between about 1807 and about 1839. This is a pointer to an image of a Capped Bust dime - the picture of Liberty is quite similar on the half dollar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Capped_Bust_dime.jpg

Why was the gobrecht silver dollar stopped in 1840?

The Liberty Seated Dollar design replaced it. Historical Note = although all Gobrecht Dollars bear the dates 1836 - 1839, a number of them were in fact minted in the 1850s to the 1870s to satisfy collectors. These, however, still show the original dates of 1836-1839.

Meaning of liberty seated silver dollar?

The term "Seated Liberty Dollar" refers to silver dollars produced in the United States between 1840 and 1873. The coins have and image on the obverse (front) of a woman representing Liberty seated, facing left (although with her body facing right), with a shield in front of her. Note that "Gobrecht Dollar", dated either 1836 or 1839, has a very similar obverse but a different eagle on the revese (back) - it is generally considered to be a pattern coin. Note that the Trade Dollar, produced between 1873 and 1878 (with proofs made until 1885) for trade in the Far East, also has a seated depiction of Liberty, but the image of the woman is different (she is, amongst other things, holding a branch in front of her), and the reverse has the words "TRADE DOLLAR". Finally, note that the Liberty Seated device also appeared on the half dime, dime, quarter and half dollar during much of the Liberty Seated Silver Dollar's time of circulation.
