<p>[QUOTE="Breakdown, post: 773934, member: 19532"]One of the great things about Walkers is there are so many different ways to collect them. Many collectors start out with one of the short sets and eventually expand into the full sets. It seems a reasonable approach. Some collect the later dates in MS and the earlier dates in AU or XF. Because the later dates are so plentiful in almost all grades, it really pays to be patient with these and look for strong strikes and avoid unattractive coins that might merit high grades. </p><p>One thing I would recommend is Jeff Ambio's book on Walkers, which does a nice job of providing different collecting strategies, although some are critical of it because he makes clear that he is focused on mint state coins. There's a lot to dig into about Walkers but based on how you have immersed yourself in Franklins, I think it might be right up your alley.</p><p>Good luck and keep us apprised of your progress.:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
