1916-S Walker

Wondering what you would value this coin at. The G04 guide price is $85 to $100.

It doesn't quite reach G-4 for me. I see it more as a AG-3 and would value it at about $45-50.

 

I agree

 

Yeah, just a bad example but cheap enough to fill the album space - AG for sure, at least you can make out the date. I think I bought my "space filler" G-4 right around 60$ off of FLEABAY!"

 

Check out the grades - might even be a touch worse than AG-03

 

Well, she is well traveled.......

 

Yes - "LAST CALL" - "do you want to come home with me"??

 

I've found that early semi-key slicks don't do terribly well. Bet it would be $30 or $35 on the 'bay.

 

Well that is good, I paid $19. If and when I sell it maybe I make a profit.

 

That's a coin that could tell a lot of stories.

 

You're on the happy side of things then. I can see enough tops of enough letters to be OK with AG3 for it.

 

You did well. Nice coin for the price.

 

If that coin could talk! Wow!!

 

You might be able to find a coin of that quality in the junk silver box at your local coin store. I would not pay over $20.

 

For comparison, here is a 16-s I own graded G-4.

 

If YOU like the coin, that is all that matters...if you bought it hoping to make a few bucks, good luck. Most (not all) Walker collectors have no interest in a coin with badly worn rims...#3 on the mintage list however.

 

same goes for 1932 D & S washington quarters.

 

Can't really get hurt at $19. AG 3.

 

I'd list it as a cull.

 

No, it is not a "cull" coin. Cull usually means it is bent, holed, surface issues, etc not wear. I have personally bought walkers in junk bins, they are usually later date in VF or below, not key date or semi-keys unless the dealer knows no better. Of course you can list anything as cull you want, which will just scare of bidders except those looking to pick you.

I agree though Walker better dates don't seem to fair well right now in lower grades along with other coins of this age like buffalo nickels. I have an easier time selling coins of different eras than this. Like three cent silvers, there is a large interest, in any condition. Maybe I sold mine too cheap?
