<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7895821, member: 100459&quot;]I don&#039;t have many Walking Liberty Half Dollars, but I got these for almost face value from a friend that was not a coin collector and he knew I was and he asked me if I was interested.&nbsp;

The RAW Halves were bought from a man I&#039;ve know since I was in the Army in the 3rd Brigade,82nd Airborne Division Fort Bragg, 1968-1970.&nbsp; He was a bank Assistant Manager, that I knew from church.&nbsp; When I was in the Army, I needed a $100 for a necessity, so I went to the bank to borrow the $100.&nbsp; He told me that the bank did not loan small amounts like I requested.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t have those rip-off businesses that would loan that amount, but you had to pay back $150.</p><p>However, he took out his check book and wrote out a check for $100.&nbsp; He gave it to one of the tellers and she came back with 5 $20 bills.&nbsp; I was in shock.&nbsp; I had never done anything like that before.&nbsp; He handed the money to me and told me to pay it back whenever I could.&nbsp; My wife had just had our first child and she was on goats milk due to a stomach ailment.&nbsp; I did have to tell him why, he just gave it to me.&nbsp; That was in 1970.&nbsp; Our baby was born on June 8th and I was discharged on June 20th.&nbsp; When I separated/discharged on the 20th, I was given my pay for that month and for 46 days leave time I had not taken.&nbsp; Another addition was that when I registered for the draft when I was 18, we were living in Germany and I needed a &quot;Home of Record.&quot;&nbsp; Since I married a North Carolina, we decided to stay there.&nbsp; The nice thing about it, the Army paid my way to Los Angeles, California, which was a lot of money, but we moved to Kinston, North Carolina, which was 50 miles away instead of the thousands of miles to Los Angeles.</p><p>The last thing I did when I was discharged from the Army, was to go to my friend and repay the $100...no interest, just a handshake and a hug, telling me how good a friend I was.&nbsp; With his &quot;loan&quot; to me, I thought he was the greatest friend I had, until he called me and told me about the Walking Liberty Halves.&nbsp; He then, became the best, best friend I&#039;ve ever had.&nbsp; We both live in North Carolina now.&nbsp; He&#039;s in Fayetteville and I live in Dunn, 30 miles apart. We see each other at church now.</p><p>I hope that you, friends, can find someone as good a friend as mine is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
