1945 is a common date for Walking Liberty halves. The coin is made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Its melt value in lower grades is approximately 0.36 times the current price of 1 ounce of silver.

If your coin is in almost new to uncirculated condition, check on the back at the 8:00 position for a mint mark. (The W on the front of the coin is the designer's monogram and not a mint mark.)

No mint mark:

$14 with almost no wear, $32 to $240 uncirculated.

D mint mark:

$18; $34-1100

S mint mark:

$24; $35-500

A very small number of high-end uncirculated specimens have graded far higher but these aren't available to the average collector.
