Nice aerly date toner^

How about a well circulated toner to add a little variety:

 

are you giving me the finger?

 

I won't even try to offer a grade but I got a question for you. What is going on under the "ITE" of UNITED on the reverse of your 1941 ?

It looks like there are other letters or numbers punched ?

 

This?

Guess You refer to this?

Thanks for pointing it out. Think it might really be something?

 

You got the correct area marked but I have no idea what it could be. I definitely doesn't look random nor organic , it seems that there is some order to it.

 

Here's a well circulated one but I still love it;

 

I keep meaning to post on this thread but I still haven't gotten around to it. sheeshh

 

OGH proof

 

I need to take better pictures of this one but the colors are good in these:

Beautiful Walkers so far. I'm going to break that run or did I do that on my last post?

 

Mean green Walker in my collection

 

Not my coin ... but these "pattern" walking liberty coins were produced in 1916 ... although extremely rare with prices ranging today from $50,000 to $130,000 ... a few made it into circulation ... imagine stubling across this rarity in pocket change back in the 1960's ... so strange seeing the large LIBERTY above the In God We Trust motto.

 

That looks like the photos in the Red Book?:kewl: but finding one would be great!!

 

Whats a pattern? My grandpop has a roll of these things.

Just kidding.

 

I did a search on the web for that photo ... it might be the same photo as in the redbook (not sure)

A pattern coin is an "experimental design" coin used to see how potential new designes might look when struck as coins ... There are sometimes several pattern struck before a final pattern is approved.

 

Here are some I posted on another thread awhile back. None are mine, just the imaging.
