<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 431658, member: 12718&quot;]I was at my local coin shop and was going through a box of type coins the dealer had on hand. While doing so, I sorted through an assortment of flying eagle cents, 1950-D unc nicks, etc. I suddenly heard my name being called and, as I looked about, this graceful woman said that I must admire her finery. Lo and behold, this Walking Liberty Half caught my eye.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She has a bit of green toning, especially on the obverse, that I found attractive. She is also a key date, 1938-D (491,600 minted). I think she is between F and VF and I paid the grey sheet price of between these grades. Now that I look this date up on e-bay, it appears I may have overpaid. Oh well, I do like the light gray green toning that I hope comes across in my photo:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1938-D%20Walking%20Half/1938-DWalkingLibertyHalf023.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1938-D%20Walking%20Half/1938-DWalkingLibertyHalf011.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, 3 questions for you since I&#039;m not a WLH collector:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- What grade would you give?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- Is the toning natural or artificial?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- Is this a series that is over valued in the greysheet pricing guide? (hidden question really......the real one is did I pay too much?) My experience is that greysheet is behind the market at least with early Large Cents and Seated Dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your thoughts? All comments are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
