[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 622904, member: 7638"]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: [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Walkers/1918Walkerrev.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Walkers/1918Walkerobv.jpg[/IMG] (sorry, photobucket was supposed to resize these when I uploaded, didn't mean to hit you over the head with personal pizza sized images!!)[/QUOTE]
