i can't seem to shrink the whole coin to under 100kb--here is the date under a magnifier.
the coin is worn from circulation and has some pitting.
I can send a larger photo to an email.

Welcome to CCF!

A pic of the full coin obverse and reverse would be nice.

Use the image optimizer

Walking Liberty half dollars were not minted until 1916, the 1915 date is not possible.

Pics will be crucial. There is no Judd (pattern coin) listed.

Welcome to CCF!

The large space between the 9 and the second 1 leads me to believe it is probably a 1945 in which the 4 has been altered to appear as a 1.

I agree. Look at the spacing between the 9 and the "1".

Pattern coinage for the WLH was dated 1916. That coin looks like an altered 1945.

There's another possibility ... Might it be a lead, cast copy? Check the weight.
