The 21 is my favorite - great strike & luster.

    I'm still amazed that those coins made it through the depression without being heavily used.

    Few did.

    My only example.
    Most of mine were acquired long before there was a CAC, and I’ve never submitted any:

    I'll take coins w/great luster w/good strike anytime.

    Sorry wrong sticker but I don’t doubt it would also get a football if submitted

    VERY NICE!!

    ME TOO!

    Most of mine were acquired pre-CAC or never made the trip to the bean factory.

    I have never submitted any, myself.

    A question for @Walkerfan and @Walkerguy21D - why won’t you submit your lovely coins to CAC? For just $14.50 each plus round trip shipping, if indeed you have success, those coins getting CAC’s will then have more value (in some cases potentially significantly more), and also be easier to sell, whether by you or your heirs. If you’re a collector and not a dealer, you get hit with that nominal fee only for the coins that sticker! Please explain the downside, other than the psychological disappointment? Separately, I understand why many people will not buy attractive coins with CAC’s due to the higher cost, but I’m bewildered why for just $14.50, you don’t give submitting your attractive coins a shot?

    A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!

    Some really nice WLH's here.... I really like Walkers... one of the most impressive coins of my childhood... big, silver and pretty.... That eagle on the back always intrigued me...used to look at it and study the feathers and other details. Cheers, RickO

    I'm not anti-CAC, just one of those things someday I'll get around to doing.
    Shoulda done it years ago, when I had a close contact in New Jersey who knew John personally and had ready access to him, when CAC was in it's infancy.

    @Walkerguy21D , since you indicate you'll do it when you get around to it, here it is. (You never know what can happen, and your heirs surely will not do it. Don't let them lose out on that potential extra value!)

    Great looking early Walkers. Easy to see how one could get hooked on the series.

    Not real concerned about it, although I like CAC, too. My main priority has been completing my set. I will submit them before I sell or bequeath.
