I can add to this one
Skyman's 1938 Cameo proof Walker is gorgeous. I have seen it in hand and it looks even better than the photo he posted.
Here are two of my Walkers. A toned proof 1941 and a lightly toned MS 1940.
These deserve to be properly displayed. Fixed it for you.

What beautiful specimens of art and craftsmanship, which in my opinion, is lost on modern coinage.Thanks for sharing. Here are a few of mine.

Walkers are my second favorite design, only surpassed by the Buffalo nickel.
One of the Levoi coins I miss most.

Story Walker
I say story Walker because this coin of mine has a very interesting story behind it.
This particular Walker first started off as a NGC ms 64. As soon as I bought it. I sent it off to be crossed by our Host. The main reason I purchased it was because of the variety aspect. The reverse had the "missing initials variety ". So, after waiting for the coin to come back. It came back crossed in the PCGS holder, as expected. What I did not expect when I seen the coin come back, was two surprises. For one, PCGS did not designate it as the missing initials variety. I actually seen this coming because of PCGS earlier asking me if I still wanted the coin graded. Well, the pleasant surprise was the NGC ms 64 turned into a PCGS ms 65! However, without the variety designation. Oh well, still a pretty nice Walker after all. Here it is.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Here is my walker set so far. Still need a 33-s. I wanted to have all PCGS MS65 and the thumb had to show. I think I have done OK so far. The pics are scans so the luster doesn't show well. Right click the pics to see and view image to see bigger scans.
AWESOME DUDE.

Finished my 30's Walkers and will have to spend a long time getting the raw ones graded. Probably won't tackle the 20's too quickly if at all. Little old to spend that kind of money with the time I have left. Truly have enjoyed this collection, almost as much as collecting Buffaloes and Indian Cents. Hope you enjoy my 33S-47D Walker set.

Two new picks from a coin show last Saturday. Both are blast white.
And a photo of a 41-47 Walker Dansco album I am filling.

@1946Hamm FANTASTIC SET!! The 1933-S is well produced and you should have no trouble finding a suitable example. MS 65s are still pretty affordable. Technically, the 1933-S is an EARLY WALKER, so I'm not sure why PCGS includes it in their intermediate set. Again, you should be able to add one with little difficulty, though. Very well done!!! The 1934, 1934-D, 1934-S, 1935, 1935-D, 1935-S. 1936-S, 1937-D, 1937-S, 1938, 1938-D, 1939-S, 1940-S, 1941-S, 1942-S and 1944-S are all really tough and you have selected some VERY nice representatives!!

@1946Hamm - fully agree with Walkerfan’s assessment.
I’ll add that the strikes on the 35D and S and the 40S are very exceptional for those issues, and a treat to see.

A couple more for Walker Wednesday
Lots of great examples shared so far!
Haven’t taken photos of many others from my collection since I moved.
This one is a PCGS 65
Been pretty actively working on my circulation grade walker book though.
Love the series!
