<p>[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 497721, member: 12718"]OK - this will be the first of 4 posts on the coins & tokens I acquired at FUN. The first one is a 1945 Walker Half that caught my eye on Wayne Herndon's table. I'm not a Walker collector, but I do love the classic design. What attracted me was the pinkish obverse toning, the gold rim reverse toning plus a few other things to be mentioned <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1945%20Walker%20Half/1945MS65Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1945%20Walker%20Half/1945MS65Rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Looking at the reverse in more detail revealed cool die polish (and is that a die crack between the wings?):</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1945%20Walker%20Half/WalkerDiePolish.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And, some very neat die cracks along "DOLLAR"</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1945%20Walker%20Half/WalkerDieCracks.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>So, while I love all the pieces I acquired at the show I think this one was the most satisfying given all the various things going on in a common date coin.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1945%20Walker%20Half/1945MS65WalkerSlab.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Do you like it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
