The Walking Liberty Half appears to be a 1918-D, but it is also listed as rare, which I find funny. There are no "rare" dates for that series, there are "better" dates i.e. 1916-P/D/S, 1917-D/S (with mint-marks on the obverse), 1921-S, and 1938-D. And there are also "key" dates i.e. 1921-P/D. However, all dates in that series are readily available, so there are no "rare" dates.
P.S. Your coin is worth a small premium over melt.

THIS coin. The, text, for lack of a better word, is closer to the edge.

OK. Thank you for your help. Whatever you were trying to show me didn't work though.

As previously mentioned, Spain sounds good as there are some 8 Maravedis - Felipe III/IV files matching with your coin.
