When you bring walking liberty half dollars to our counter at 27842 W. Warren Ave in Westland, the first thing we do is establish exactly what it is. Nothing is quoted from across the room and nothing is quoted from a photograph. We work at the counter with you standing there, and we explain each step as we go — what we are testing, what the test told us, and what it means for the number we are about to write down.

The single biggest factor on walking liberty half dollars is date — pre-1934 issues, especially 1916–1921, are scarce. After that comes mint mark position (obverse under the motto on early coins, reverse later), and at the far end of the list sits silver content as the baseline — the part most sellers never hear about anywhere else, because most buyers would rather pay a flat rate and move you along. We would rather show our work, because customers who understand the offer come back, and this shop has run on repeat customers since 1987.
