Hi and Welcome to the forum, I answered your other two posts.
The 1908 is probably not even a fake walking liberty half, and it probably a fake american silver eagle, but either way I suspect it to being fake.
The 1976 $2 bills, aren't worth much, and my best guess would be $2.

Considering that 1916 was the first year for Liberty Walking half dollars...I'll go out on a limb and say fake.

Yes. Walking Libery Halves were made between 1916 and 1947. Silver Eagles which have the same obverse (front side) were made from 1986 to the present date.

Without a pic I can't say for certain but I highly suspect what you have is a Chinese counterfeit of the ASE (American Silver Eagle). I don't know why but the date of 1906 is very popular for these fakes even though the coin they are copying was not minted until 1986.

I saw one of these 1906 ASEs just today in my advanced grading class at ANA Summer Seminar. One of the instructors brought in some of his counterfeit collection and the 1906 ASE was part of the collection.

BTW, if what you have is a Chinese counterfeit 1906 ASE it is worthless except as a curiosity piece. Some collectors may pay a few dollars for it to have an example of a Chinese fake.
