17S obv

 

Here is my 1916-S and 1938-D. Obviously both well circulated. But they look better than the scans appear.

 

AdamL, I like their nice, original look. And that is a very attractive 17-s obv, WalkingD, I know how hard those are to find in a nice, midgrade condition. Welcome to the Forum!

 

Thanks. I like the look of these too. But, welcome to the forum? I've been here a while, lol. Thats alright though. Thanks for the warm welcome

 

Sorry, that was kind of a runon post! I noticed WalkingD had 2 posts credited, so I thought I should say howdy! and Welcome! Congrats on topping 3,000 posts, AdamL!

 

Thanks for the welcome.

 

OH!! I just now realized that when I reread the post. lol

 

I like your taste in Walkers, Mr. WalkerD!




Dang! gotta resize that one...

 

1942 S Walking Liberty Half Dollar

@WalkingD & @ksparrow

Your '21 and that 17-S are really nice, great shots!

Here's another one of mine that I really like, a '42-S

 

That 42-s would fit very nicely into a set of circulated Walkers I could envision!

 

So many nice Walkers in these 5 pages :bow::bow::bow:

 

Nice Walkers you guys. It puts my measly/wore out coins to shame.

 

These coins were workhorses of commerce and worth a lot in terms of goods in their day (look at some of Walker Evans' photos of the Bowery in the 1930's-- full meals for 10 cents!) and for me command some respect even when extremely worn.The design holds its own even when virtually flat-- I can't say that for a Barber!

Walking D, that 1919 you posted above is a DREAM coin , just gorgeous!

Here's one a bit more humble:




(sorry, photobucket was supposed to resize these when I uploaded, didn't mean to hit you over the head with personal pizza sized images!!)

 

I say post em up! All Walkers are beautiful!

 

Here's my only worn walker I have and I use it quite often

JC

 

Mentally or physically? :mouth:

 

Well, I think it's AU! notice the detail and the patina-- I can tell it's never been cleaned. i wonder if it's the scarce folding variety? Sometimes people "improve" them by putting tennis balls on the legs-- a travesty!!!

 

Very funny now what is a walker used for ? The walker was graded at AU58. there was some wear on the low points of the wheels.
