Instead of guess the grade, guess the mintmark! Walking Liberty Half from 1944...

Looks like a Denver coin.
If it is a San Fransisco.......it would be the sharpest one I've ever seen.

I say it's an "S".
D
For this year, the order of most sharply struck to most weakly struck is usually Denver > Philadelphia > San Francisco. Statistically, the coin is likely a Denver minted piece. Since you're posting this, my guess is that it is an "S" mint.
I think it's a trick question, but i'll take a wild guess.
"S" as DM & CN has already stated.
The 1938 looks like a Philadelphia coin.

Not even the same year!
For the second coin, both 1938-P to 1938-D often come well struck. I'll guess a D.
Both coins are very nice and have great strikes, but the 1944-S is beyond belief. It is incredible and very rare to find one with a strike like that.
I would never have said that the 1944 was a San Francisco coin. They often range from run of the mint to mushy for strike quality.
"Thumbs up" on both halves.

Very nice Walkers... would be pleased to own both of them.....Cheers, RickO
In the back of my mind, so did I...
That being said, that is one of the finest (strike quality) 1944 S Walkers that I've ever seen.
Congrats @AllCoinsRule

I totally agree................no clamshell hands on those beauties.

Fantastic 44-S!
So now the real question...How many 1944 S pieces did you search through to find that one?
Ive seen 41-S like that but that's the first 44-S!
What a beauty!
I've never seen a 41-S or 42-S similarly struck
