Please check again and post a new question. 1836 silver dollars carry a full portrait of Miss Liberty in a sitting position and so are called Liberty Seated dollars.
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.
An authentic 1836 U.S. silver dollar would be one of the rare "Gobrecht Dollars" (1836-1839) very few were released into circulation. The coin has "Miss Liberty" in the seated position on the front and a flying eagle on the reverse. Look at the coin again and post new question.

Could you check that date? Liberty Seated dimes weren't issued in 1836. There are loads of price guides at sites such as http://www.coinclub.com/prices/ , among others. 1890
"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

No Standing Liberty dollars have been made by the US, the only dollar coins struck in 1836 are the Gobrecht dollars which have Liberty Seated on the front and a large flying eagle on the back and they are rare. Look at the coin again and post new question.

In average condition it's worth about $50
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.

1794-1804/1836-1904/1921-1928/1934-1935 no more dollar coins struck for circulation after 1935 contain silver.
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.
The weight of the U.S. silver half dollar has changed over the course of it's history. In 1794 the silver half dollar weighed 13.48 grams and was 89.24 % silver. Then in 1836 the silver half dollar weight was changed to 13.36 grams and was 90% silver. In 1892 the silver half dollar weight was again changed to 12.50 grams which was the weight used until the final 90% silver half dollar struck for circulation was issued in 1964.
