"Life is too short to buy ugly coins"...Newp(Early Walker)!

The quoted statement is the motto and objective of encouragement to collectors given by our friend @giorgio11 / Vdbcoins and I agree with it 100%! I recently saw a coin he posted on his

I knew that if the numbers worked out and it was still available, I wanted it. When I contacted him I envisioned his response this way...

It had to make a short trip

Well....

This arrived! I took quick, probably blobby looking, unacceptable pictures of the obverse and reverse:

Needless to say I am

Thanks for another great coin my friend!

    Nothing wrong with that look at all, great coin! As for the brownish or silvery cast, I'll take either one if it looks nice.

    I'm working on a circulated early set ('16 thru '33) and only need 2 more!

    Love it. Anyone looking for early walkers will know they are EASY to find....Assuming you want G-4 or MS-64. :) Everything else is tough to find!

    Especially like the obverse mm. Wish they had left them there.

    Very nice. I like the brown or silvery. Those are both very nice early Walkers. :)

    Beautiful coin. Obverse mint marked Walkers are cool looking, similar to a 1839-0 Bust Half or early gold.

    Classy coin, and would be a good solid addition in my book too! Enjoyed the creativity with sharing.
