    Well, the way the dollar is shrinking. Just wait a couple of weeks and looking back it will be an out right steal. :eek:

    Some UNC Walkers are much more than the OPs $57 ;)

    Yes, but a common XF morgan, or even a nice looking VF is not much more than your $17 nowadays.

    By the same token, it could prove to be a great buy tomorrow. Silver can be very Jekyll-Hyde.

    Sorry I meant Walkers, like the OP was referring to.

    If I had more money I would have bought all the Walkers in that Pawn Shop, they are my favorite coin.

    If you want one, that might be a good price. I bought a bunch of Mercury dimes 2 weeks ago for $2.35 each. Today they would cost me about $3.35. Most experts say silver could reach $100 an ounce before the "bubble bursts". But when it crashes, will the bottom be $75 an ounce ?

    Seriously, it's not a bad deal. IMHO

    Get the coin man...at $17 you can't go wrong. Even if silver tanks; who cares...you still own a coin 60+ year old coin that will always be worth at least 50 cents. Besides, it sounds like you really fell in love with it. Are you buying it as a potential investment or are you buying it to enjoy in your collection? Get the coin... :cool:

    Only The Buyer/Seller Can Establish "Worth"

    I believe most realize that value is of personal determination, but currently at the time of this posting, the commercial melt price is ~$17.50. It thus has been established to have a commercial value greater than $17 to someone. I hope you make a personal determination prior to that someone resolving your dilemma. :smile
