Some Walkers I wish I'd have kept and a tribute to the skill of Phil.

Sold these maybe 2-3 years ago to finance a kitchen remodel, they were part of a set I was putting together. When the "look" is right I don't think there's a more attractive design out there in U.S. coinage. It's probably why ASE's are so popular as a bullion issue. Another aspect of my short lived foray into Walkers was the forum members I interacted with and got feedback from, sort of like the Mastercard commercials, priceless!!
Anyway, I was just looking at some pictures and reminiscing. Enjoy the Walkers and post some rim-toned beauties if you can.

Sorry you had to sell them - they’re so nice! Really like the 1917; great toning & eye appeal!

Beautiful examples @Maywood, and @Copperindian!
Great tributes all to Phil's missed capabilities. Here's my favorite of his.

Great Walkers guys!
Had all of the proofs and was working on the business strikes when I decided to reallocate my funds to my primary interest. Many of mine were in non-imaged slabs but here's one of the ones that was TrueViewed.

In the spirit of the thread, here's a toned MS66 Walker that I sold a few years ago. Wish I could have kept it!
Edit to add: This photo was from @robec and I prefer it over the TV.

It does have the green bean. The only MS Walker that I have left. The toning is reminiscent of a coin that's been dipped and never properly rinsed, but it's quite attractive in hand.
Walkers are beautiful coins - and these examples prove it!!
Those are some wow Walkers. Thanks for sharing!
Not a TrueView either.
Great looking walkers!
Walkers are definitely one of the best US coin designs ever!
