Walking Liberty Halves - Postings

[rbrown4]

There is a very well respected gentleman on these boards that I recently learned, has an exteme fondness for Walking Liberty Halves.

 

So, lets see some pics.

 

Here is one I have not posted on the boards before - 1938 D MS 63

 

Thanks,

 

Rey

Nice half! Yes Bob aka supertooth is a great guy.

Now that is a very pretty Walker. Let me test my understanding. The marks on the right obverse--are those coin edge marks from impact with other stuff in the back? It says a lot about the eye appeal that it makes those marks look minor.

Here you go Rey

Bruce -

 

JKK - Yes there are 6 identically shaped indentions in the field there but of different depth. It appears to me that it was the edge of another coin that came into contact with it.

 

Irvin - Very nice one..

Here's an MS66 1945-D which I recently handled:

Correct! These are reed marks from another coin.

Those are some beautiful Walkers. How could anybody not love the design of that half dollar? Truly one of the top designs in all American coinage.. And then look at what we have to use today. How can the mint look at themselves in the mirror?

Beautiful coin Mark

[D.D.]

I have a few Walkers and supertooth is #1 in my book.

 

 

For the AT fans

Nice coin Mark. I'm going to buy one like that really soon.

[MarkFeld]

Nice coin Mark. I'm going to buy one like that really soon.

Don't be so sure, Larry - I had two orders for it and only one client will end up with it!

 

 

Beautiful coin Mark

Thank you!

[ldhair]

This one came from Mark Feld a while back. Looks even better in hand.

[bsshog40]

Very nice WLH's all. I can't wait til I get mine in hand and take some better pics of it to show. Hoping for NT (probably not).

I usually do not post pics, mostly becasue no matter how hard I try they always come out blury. In this case I couldn't stop from showing off my crusties.

 

Next show I'll look for a 38-D w/ extra crust to finish off the ten year run!

[robec1347]

My only two.

Here's one for ya - a nice proof

 

[robec1347]

To say the least. More than a nice one.

[SkyMan]

That's a sweet 1938 Walker and image Rey! I particularly like how the reverse looks.

 

That's a pretty 1941 Irvin! Very nice luster to it.

 

Mark, that is a very attractive 1945-D! I love the toning on it.

 

D.D., what a great looking group of Walkers! I'd love to see your avatar one of these days.

 

Larry, that's a lovely proof 1940! The toning really accents the coin nicely.

 

Dcoin, that's a fun run of Walkers! Nice and crustie.

 

Bob, 2 beauties there mate! I love how you captured the luster of the coins.

 

EDITED TO ADD: Whoops, looks like stev32 added an image in while I was doing this post. Stev32, that's a very attractive proof! The coin has some lovely contrast.

Hello Folks---- Well, after over two years and gosh knows how long lurking before that---- Here is my wife's FIRST digital photos of a coin. Naturally, it would have to be the same coin as my friend, Mark Feld, just put on. But that was purely coincidental. Should be an improvement over the scanner pictures. Hope it turns out OK-----Bob [supertooth]

 

 

[MorganMan]

Here is one that resides in my 7070 set.

 

 

I just love the "halo" effect of this series from metal flow.

[pendragon1998]

My humble offering...1934 PCGS AU-58

 

 

[robec1347]

Nice looking Walker, Michael. It sure looks nicer than a 58.

[supertooth]

Michael---- As I told you, that is one nice coin. You can work your way up from there. An excellent starting point. What a wonderful lady. Bob [supertooth]

[TomB]

Bob, it's nice to see that you have the system up and running. It should just be a matter of (not much) time before you have tons of images to share with us.

[bsshog40]

Very nice WLH's all! very nice!!

[hoard]

Unbelievable photo of an excellent coin. How did you do it.

[D.D.]

 

I love this 43-S, I just need a better picture
