Everything this guy is writing in this auction is complete hogwash. A 1942 Walking Liberty Half is no key date, nor is it rare, and what kind of toning is on that coin. It would have to be the uglieast one I've ever seen. The coin is no better than VF and looks like someone poorly painted the coin. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-WALKING-LIB...QQcmdZViewItem It already has a bid-this is unbelievable. This guy is just fishing for suckers. The sad part is that this coin may get up to $20-30 when all said and done. He's even charging $5.75 for shipping. __________________ Collecting the first fifty years of U.S. coins 1793-1843.

I can't believe it's going so high. Most of the common walkers and franklins are going for around melt if they are lower than MS or AU.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
