Post a Walking Liberty Half

I picked up these two nice circulated Walking Liberty Halves this week.

That coin has a personality that is all it's own. I love how the color seems to hide. Nice coin!

Here is one with color that hides from the camera. Look hard!

 

I think its leather toning. I have another walker that was claimed to have been in a very old leather couch for many decades and it has the same chocolate brown with some color peaking out but it doesnt have the large patches and bursts that this one has. Similar neon colors though.

 

From the US first year of issue collection I've been working on.....

 

Next to Morgan dollars, the walking liberty halves are my favorite, at least as far as coins that have been in circulation in my lifetime. Here is one I own. I was going to suggest to the OP that he buy coin albums instead of coin folders, though I noticed the thread is quite old.

 

these are my favs

 

Beautiful coins!! And the walkers are my favorite.

 

45S is noted for a weak strike, very nice old NGC holder

 

walkers are nice, I want a proof walker one day!

 

Here ya go!

 

Here is one of kind....literally... it is the discovery piece.

 

It is a very late die state. My guess would be a grease filled die......but maybe not. Under close examination, you can see a phantom AW. Maybe just polished away like the other no AW's. I bought it off a dealer who sent it in to NGC. He was in close contact with them during the grading process. Several people apparently all looked at it and concluded that it was a no AW.

 

I only got 2 worth mentioning

 

Hey Mainebill is that a gold CAC?

 

And this one am an early coin collector but decided to get a couple real pretty walkers
