    Now that's a Gemmy one! I love this design and am working on a vf set in an old LOC album.

    For what it's worth I've never seen a single Walking Liberty Half Dollar move...

    They should have named that series Legs Spread Standing Liberty Half Dollars ;):p

    I liked SLQs more than WLHs until I started looking closer at the heads (as one does with SLQs), and it just doesn't look feminine to me. Now WLHs win.

    26-D is notorious for bad head detail. That is a very nice, bright coin you have there. I once saw a slabbed 26-D at a coin shop with the head so flat it started to merge with the field.

    Yeah these are so poorly stuck the head can look like an ice cream scoop. There's also both interior and rim cuds known for this date along with a die crack that runs through Miss Liberty's head which looks like horns.

    You guys are right on. I was talking to the dealer about this piece and the fact that it didn't have a full head. He said that he's seen much worse and he told me that the 1926 -D is very rare with a full head and would cost $9,000 in this grade if it did have one. I really didn't know that and I learned something new, when I purchased it.

    Nice one Greg!

    That is a very nice SLQ......A worthy addition to your set. Cheers, RickO

    For those who are wondering, it is a PC 63 and I paid $200 for it.

    Broadstruck: That 26-D is simply OUTSTANDING!, even with a Details grade. That's what I'm talkin about!

    What's not to like! The coins from this time (Silver and Gold) are truly the high water mark of US coinage.

    I've never given much thought to collecting these, but maybe I need to reconsider! :)

    Beautiful look, congratulations, Walkerfan! The '26-D is notoriously poorly struck. The good thing is, when you see one with a look you like, you get the opportunity to pay '17-P T1/'30-P MS money to own an SLQ from Denver. This one was graded 64 by NGC. Apparently, it was in a B. Max Mehl envelop for 60-70 years from the Frederic Geiss auction in February 1947. The luster is something else (although you wouldn't know from this picture).
