Please check again and post a new question. The Walking Liberty design was used on half dollars dated 1916-1947 and on 1-oz bullion coins minted since 1986.
A U.S. one dollar coin dated 1900 is a Morgan dollar. The Walking Liberty design was first used in 1916 ( to replace the Barber series) on half dollars only.
Please check your coin again and post a new question with its denomination. To clear things up There are Liberty Head designs and Walking Liberty designs, but there couldn't be a coin with a "walking liberty head" because heads can't walk, LOL! And in any case, the Walking Liberty design didn't appear until 1916, on half dollars.
Dates are needed, post new question.
When minted, a Walking Liberty Half Dollar contains .36169 ounce pure silver. The coin is alloyed with 10% copper, giving an overall silver purity of 90%, resulting in a coin that weighs 12.5 grams.
First, the coin is a American Silver Eagle NOT a walking liberty silver dollar and were struck in each month of this year with peak production in March of more than 3 million coins struck.
Check that coin again, because what you're describing doesn't actually exist. There were no silver dollars minted that year, and the Walking Liberty design (on the half dollar) wasn't introduced for another decade.
4-22-11>> The only US coin dated 1997 with the Walking Liberty design is a Silver Eagle Bullion coin. The value of the coin is tied to the spot price of silver at time of sale, today it's $46.61 per ounce.
It's a Silver Eagle not a Walking Liberty. The coin is made from one ounce of silver and the value is whatever the spot price of silver is at time of sale. The value now is $18.25.
It's a Walking Liberty half dollar with a value of about $13.00
The current price of silver is about $17/oz.
Yes some people do refer to the $1 Silver Eagles as Walking Liberty Dollars but that is not the correct term for this coin. Also make sure 1 OZ. Fine Silver-One Dollar is on the back of the coin.
8-9-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1900 Morgan (not a Liberty Head) dollar is a very common coin with retail values of $37.00-$41.00 depending on the grade of the coin.
