<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alassnsane, post: 1185348, member: 31154&quot;]Recently, to help pay back taxes and prevent foreclosure on our family farm we were forced to make the tough call of choosing to sell my grandfather&#039;s coin collection. Walking Liberty Half Dollars comprise the vast majority of the collection and over the past few weeks, with my limited knowledge, I&#039;ve been attempting to catalogue them for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>With no previous knowledge in this realm, it&#039;s been, as you can likely imagine, more than a bit of a challenge to attempt to get myself up to speed so that I can get even a ballpark figure of what their value might be. Early on in this process I ran across what I originally dismissed as a coin likely only worth its silver content and placed it with the other coins that held little value...as I learned more and more about the grading of coins eventually that &#039;damaged&#039; coin popped back into mind and I retrieved it assuming then it was some sort of mint error (since the luster exists over the &#039;damaged&#039; areas) and that it might have some significant value as an oddity. So, I got online and attempted to find another similar coin. After searching for a very long time I was just about ready to call it a day when I stumbled upon this webpage...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/1943-s-walking-liberty-half-dollar--error-ngc-ms63-36001_1344_d.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/1943-s-walking-liberty-half-dollar--error-ngc-ms63-36001_1344_d.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/1943-s-walking-liberty-half-dollar--error-ngc-ms63-36001_1344_d.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(more info contained within this short article)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://minterrornews.com/discoveries-7-20-04-walker_off-metal.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://minterrornews.com/discoveries-7-20-04-walker_off-metal.html" rel="nofollow">http://minterrornews.com/discoveries-7-20-04-walker_off-metal.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have yet to locate anything that resembles our coin as much, also, if you will note, this coin was minted during one of the years mentioned in the second link/article, 1943.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m attempting to not get my hopes too high because, well, good things tend to not to happen to this family and because I clearly am out of my depth in the numismatic world...but I&#039;ll admit to having my fingers crossed just a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you all think? Any, and all, comments and opinions are welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S...please forgive that the photo quality isn&#039;t all it could likely be but taking these pics wasn&#039;t easy, especially with nothing but a cell phone camera![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
