1917-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar with mintmark on reverse. Mintage of 1,940,000. 
I thought it was junk silver when I pulled it, but I was still beside myself to get my second Walker in rolls
. But when I ran a Google on the date/mm combo, I saw numbers that made my eyes pop out and I thought I might have a $200+ coin 
. So I take it to my local coin shop, but I find out it's been worn down so much from circulation that it only carries a slight premium above silver value. I'm guessing the most I could get for this is $50 or so. I still got a plastic case for it, and it won't be going in my junk silver pile. First find that made me go to a coin shop to have it looked at. All lettering as well as the date is easily visible, but the vertical lines on Liberty's skirt have worn away, as well as most of the lines on the eagle's feathers. But some of the feather lines are still visible. The metal along Liberty's middle has been worn flat. The guy at the coin shop said it would grade either G or VG.
There were also 3 40%s in that box.
