Here is a pick of the one and only coin I bought today at the Long Beach show. First MS walking liberty I've ever owned. Just over half done with my dads birthyear set. Only bad thing about it I got home and noticed a scratch on the reverse from the TI-in united to the RI in pluribus.... I did a quick job with the pics so don't beat me up too bad. Also this holder is the worst I've ever seen looks like it was a certified pocket piece. Definately need some plastic cleaner
Thanks, I really like the walkers as well. Maybe after I finish the two sets I currently have going I will start on these.
I like it! Maybe the scratch is actually on the holder? I see a lot of them on there. I need to get an MS-BU walker one day, the closest I have is a polished example, so that's really not close at all. I have two genuinely circulated examples and even worn they are still highly attractive coins!
Scratch or not, it's still a pretty coin. Is it a PCGS MS65? I've always been on the lookout for a MS65-67 toner for my birth year (1947) but every time I find a nice one at auction, I get creamed by other bidders. Chris
It is pcgs65 . I was looking for a 65 or 66 and only saw maybe three 65's, this one appearing to be the nicest.
I wish it was, but if you click on the picture to enlarge you can see the damage to the T in united. I have a couple rolls of circulated walkers I bought as bullion and I really like the way they look as well I will probably get the dansco and fill it up with these.
this picture is a better representation of what the coin looks like in hand. There is some light toning on the lower right of the obverse, but basically it is white. still has all the scratches on plastic
