I can't find any information on the value of a 1934 walking liberty half dollar with a rotated die and weather I should have it graded to sell it or to sell as is and at what price.

The pics shows me a counterfeit coin. Compare pics of verified ones on a search engine and you can see by looking closely that the details of the design are all wrong.
For example, the date's font is all wrong. Pay special attention to the bottom tail of the three on a legit coin. Another example (and for the REV) is to look at the feathers right below the eagles head. Yours has a row of evenly spaced, evenly sized, and well defined feathers. The real Walker design is a lot more detailed and with varying feathers.

And yes, the Chinese have been faking even common date coins now for some time.

Here's a Pic from the PCGS site - There should be a "ray" above the "L" in Liberty

Have to agree - This guy looks a little "fishy" - jmho

Hope this helps
