The 1945-S Walking Liberty Half was always one I presumed that I would never own an MS67.

I'm going to keep this journal short- at least that is my intent as usual. I won't go into the convoluted search for one coin that led me to browsing the inventory of a certain dealer who had what I was looking for but not within my means at this time.

Consequently, I saw this attractively detailed, crusty and unique looking 1945-S Walker Half in MS67. The coin was priced at more than I have ever spent on a single coin, yet nicely discounted below any other I've seen in this grade. I slept on it overnight, revisited the webpage the following morning and went ahead and made the offer.

A few hours later I had received confirmation that my highly respectful offer was accepted and I finished the purchase...no long story needed and no complications ( except that the coin is registered to another Registry participant and can't be listed yet--no big deal though, I will have the coin in hand in a few days and start my attempts at imaging- hopefully it will be released soon by the past owner.)

The photo/image I am posting is not my work but is now of the coin that I own. Happy hunting everyone--if you can't find what you are looking for, maybe something you hadn't imagined you could obtain may fall across your path........
