Question
what is a 1921 walking liberty silver dollar worth? It is
in fair condition

Answer
William,

If you have a 1921 walking liberty silver dollar, then u have a counterfeit or fantasy coin -- no such coin was ever made by the U.S. Mint.

If however you have a 1921 walking liberty silver HALF dollar, then ...

"Fair" condition, in coin collecting terms, means it is almost worn out to the point that you can hardly make out what it is.  If that is an accurate description of your coin, then it's only worth about $25.00

However, if your coin is nicer than that, since it is one of the rare dates, it will be worth alot more than that, but I would need to determine exact grade to tell whether you have a $100 coin or a $500 (or more) coin.

You can either send me magnified pictures of both sides of the coin to : working.man@usa.net

or you can check out the following website to grade the coin yourself :

and let me know what you think the coin really grades.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
