This Lib half is one of 200 WLHDs I inherited that were originally purchased in a bag for the silver value, dates 1917-1946. After looking at PCGS photograde, my best guess is that this 1945 WLHD might be AU55? Comments?

Kind of hard to tell with your pictures. But the top of the wing look pretty shiny which may indicate a cleaning.

This was one of 200 HDs in a bag that were purchased about 10 years ago so it is possible someone cleaned it in the past. Here are a few closeups:

So as this and some of my other walkers looked cleaned, it appears I have 2 options: (1) the "melt bucket" app. $6.50 value (2) Need to be willing take time/effort to find a buyer possibly for a few bucks more. Probably not worth hassling with ebay for small margins.
