That's a one ounce silver round, so the value varies with the price of silver. As of 20 June 2012, silver is $27.90/ounce.
Please take another and much more careful look, then post a new question. Franklin halves were made from 1948 to 1963 and have Ben's head on the front and the Liberty Bell on the back. Walking Liberty halves were made from 1916 to 1947 and have Miss Liberty (DEFINITELY not a man!) on the front and an eagle on the back. And finally, they're not pure silver - there's 10% copper in both types.
Please check your coin again. The Walking Liberty design was first used on half dollars dated 1916-1947, and then again on silver "eagle" bullion coins starting in 1986. Both of these coins have denominations, although the $1 value on the eagle coins is purely artificial. You may have a replica, a fantasy piece, or a privately-manufactured item.
that is a Silver Eagle, the us government sells them as 1OZ silver bullion. it is almost 100% silver. value depends on condition and date, right now silver is about $25.50 per ounce. so that coin is a MINIMUM of $25 at melt value. a 1996 silver eagle in BU (brilliant un-circulated) condition can go for $50+ while a 2003 eagle can co for $26
As of today 2-8-11 it's worth about $30.00
The woman is Miss Liberty! The coins are often called "Morgan" dollars after the man who designed them. Please see the Related Question.
Chief Engraver Charles E Barber designed a Liberty Head series for dimes, quarters, and half dollars, 1892-1916. Miss Liberty was on one side. The other side of the dime had a wreath, that of the quarter and of the half-dollar an eagle.
