<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Skelton, post: 4368751, member: 92092&quot;]My son turned me on to Walking Liberty Halves some time back, and I&#039;ve been adding to his collection since then.&nbsp; But I&#039;ve come across many that I didn&#039;t like due to their condition.&nbsp; Let me show you what I mean.[ATTACH=full]1103606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1103613[/ATTACH] </p><p>I like this coin, and the&nbsp; main thing I like about it has to do with the head detail of Liberty.&nbsp; I can tell there is a mouth, eyes, and a nose, all pretty well-defined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now compare that to this next coin of mine.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103615[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;m just going to show the obverse because I tend to focus on the head.&nbsp; This coin is not the worst that I&#039;ve seen, but to me the head just looks mushy.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind it too much, but I wish it was better.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I go to coin shows, auctions, and my club meetings, I always look at these coins, and the majority of them have even more worn heads than this one.&nbsp; I would get them because they do help complete my collection, but I don&#039;t because of the loss of detail in the head.&nbsp; Is this just common on these coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>So, am I being too picky?&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a lot of money to spend on coins, but those I can afford don&#039;t have the sharpness I&#039;m looking for.&nbsp; What do you all think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
