Please post your monster or attractively toned Liberty Walking Half Dollar

[coinman_23885]

I have heard rumors about so called "monster" toned Liberty Walking Half Dollars, but I am having difficulty finding images of them. I want to know if they exist in any quantity and the spectrum of patterns that they display. As such, please post your monster or attractively toned Liberty Walking Half Dollar.

 

Thanks.

Ok I posted it...let me know what you think of it

[coinsarefun]

I wouldn't say this is a monster but for the year and mint mark

I think it's pretty good and has some really nice luster and toning.

I think MJ has one I would call a monster.

I would NOT call this one a monster by the typical definition (rainbow colors) BUT it is FULLY original.

 

It has a beautiful pearly, oyster color in the center with gorgeous golden brown rim tone on the obverse, because it was more exposed.

 

The reverse has a velvety, BRIGHT silver look with splashes of russets.

 

It screams 'I AM ORIGINAL!!'

 

I get all warm and fuzzy just when I look at it. The luster is FULL and UNINHIBITED.

 

It was probably stored in a blue Whitman folder for MANY years before being encapsulated.

 

It is very special to me, b/c of it's originality and it doesn't get much nicer, as far as I am concerned.

 

It was a lucky find for me in late 2010.

Thanks everyone for the posts so far; I like them. Interestingly, I am beginning to think that attractively toned Liberty Walking Half Dollars are tougher than attractively toned Peace Dollars to find.

Not my coins...

They are tough... especially the earlier dates. I think the earlier dates are much tougher to find toned than Peace $. The later dates are about equal.

I think MJ has one I would call a monster.

 

I have spent the last seven years and fistfuls of cash trying to put a set of these together (33-47). People told me in would be in vain and I would go broke or insane or both. I'm actually within three coins of finishing the short set but it may never be finished.

 

Random coins from the project. These are also a bear to photograph. MJ

Evan Gale (Aspen Park) has a 45-S that is stellar on his site. I have this 67* pictured below but push comes to shove I would rather have the 66 on his site. Grades on gem or higher in this series mean nothing to me on toned specimens.They are a scarce breed. MJ

 

[leeg]

Very nice examples shown so far!

 

(thumbs u

 

 

Here is one I used to own:

 

[mumu]

I bought a really nice one from MJ(i think) many year ago that ive yet to photograph and currently resides in a safe in FL so may be a while before I do but you can see the obverse in this collage I started but never finished. The reverse is the money shot as it is nice bright red with a neon green coming in from below. I think the below reverse shot is a scan so it barely shows the vibrant color. In the collage it is the coin on the right.

I dont think we will see any walkers that look like some of those monster morgans that we see posted.

[mumu]

I dont think we will see any walkers that look like some of those monster morgans that we see posted.

 

That's true of just about any series compared to morgans except maybe ASE which to me dont count. But just about anything on a morgan is demmed NT no matter how insane it looks where every other series is instantly AT so I wonder what that says.

[brg5658]

I don't think of this one as a "monster", but I am pretty fond of the toning.

 

[WingedLiberty1]

[Old Pueblo]

This is the best toned WLH I own

[mkman123]

mumu, the only other series I think that has really nice toning would be franklins and other modern coins like quarters and roosies, maybe some proof coins like barber halfs, quarters or seated dollar but otherwise you don't see the same type of toning on morgans on other coins.

 

 

[mumu]

Frankies get those rainbows but usually its a small part of the coin or half or so, Nothing with full coverage like the morgans.

Bought this attractively toned Walker from Wayne Herndon several years ago:

 

[grip]

Only one I own,with any color.

[robec1347]

I took this shot 4 years ago for member Dwaine. I think he has sold it since then.

 

 

[BOILER78]

Here is my only toned Walker

 

[kryptonitecomics]

I see a few in this thread I would call monsters (thumbs u

 

 

I forgot I once owned this....not a monster but pretty nice and in a NGC 2.1 rare holder to boot!

 

 

[Walkerfan]

MJ--I just wanted to tell you that I think the 37-D is AWESOME and surely fits the category!! I've never seen another one quite like it.

 

I like ALL of the Walkers in this thread, so far!!

[SkyMan]

Some very attractive Walkers here.

 

 

Not a monster, but I like it...
