Yes, I totally agree.

 

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

 

Not quite MS but I still like it!

 

My most recent Walker purchase:

 

Love the circulated Walkers, ksparrow. I have a nice 18-D in Fine that I enjoy immensely.

 

Hi Skyman, beautiful coin, great picture and details! If it is graded, what grade is it and who graded it? Thanks, Al

 

thanks! I love 'em too and a set of the early dates in F-VF (working on it) is real easy on the eyes.

 

Added this on Wednesday and have had it in my pocket since.

 

Congrats on a nice piece,always liked these coins for the artistic effort in making them.....

 

It's not my coin, but I am familiar with it. It is in a NGC PF66 Cameo holder, and is one of a handful or so of cameo designated coins for this date. In fact, NGC/PCGS combined have only designated 17 coins ever.

 

Pretty coin for just a 63.

 

Thank you Al! Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. I was out of town when you posted it.

The coin is graded NGC PR66CAMEO. It's one of only 10 Walkers graded Cameo by NGC in the proof series (only 7 have been graded Cameo by PCGS). If you look you'll see that, in addition to the rest of the devices being frosted, the sun is also frosted, which is what predominantly separates the true cameos from the rest of the nicely frosted proof Walkers in the series.

 

I just spent a few days writing about Walkers. I hope that my points are helpful to people who are assembling sets.

That's a very good article, Greg. I'm not sure I agree with JA about the 46 DDR being "subtle" though, as DD's go I think it's pretty strong.
