What is the value of a walking liberty half dollar with a W mint mark?

Answer 1

The "W" causes a lot of confusion today because it's not a mint mark. It's the monogram of the designer, A. A. Weinman.

Up till 1968 the mint mark position on most coins was on the back. That includes all but 1916 and some 1917 walking liberty halves. For anything with a later date, the mint mark can be found near the 8:00 position on the coin's reverse:

No mint mark = Philadelphia

D = Denver

S = San Francisco

For a specific value, enter the question "What is the value of a (date) US half dollar?" in the box at the top of the page. (date) is of course the date of your coin.
