OK - this will be the first of 4 posts on the coins & tokens I acquired at FUN. The first one is a 1945 Walker Half that caught my eye on Wayne Herndon's table. I'm not a Walker collector, but I do love the classic design. What attracted me was the pinkish obverse toning, the gold rim reverse toning plus a few other things to be mentioned
:
Looking at the reverse in more detail revealed cool die polish (and is that a die crack between the wings?):
And, some very neat die cracks along "DOLLAR"
So, while I love all the pieces I acquired at the show I think this one was the most satisfying given all the various things going on in a common date coin.
Do you like it?
