can anyone help with this???

I'm not sure if this coin is fake or not it's a 1908 walking liberty half dollar. Is it real and if it is how much is it worth?

Odds are it isn't even a Walking Liberty Half Dollar.
I am pretty sure it is a 1908 Counterfeit American Silver Eagle.
Either way if it has the Walking Liberty design on the obverse, it is a fake, but pictures would help.

any walking liberty dated 1908 is a fake.

but are you sure that it isn't 1918?

And what size is it?
$1/2?

or Silver dollar sized?

Well Frank if it is dollar sized, or well bigger than that, then it is probably what I suggested earlier, the fake ASE.
But either way, fake coinage
