Hello.

The walkers look like scaled-down silver eagle bullion coins. The rims look contemporary. My judgement is these are counterfeits, which is odd since the dates are relatively common.

p.s. I hope I'm incorrect!

First,

I agree with @dave700x and @IndianGoldEagle

Although the photos are blurry, the Liberty Walking half dollars look very much like the counterfeits NGC warned about earlier this year.

The 35S is spot on to the NGC link FC posted. No serifs on the S, strong sun rays, you can even pick up the vertical striations in the obverse fields that look like die polishing (but obviously are not).

If you have one counterfeit in the lot......
