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!! :p

Anyway, I was just looking at some pictures and reminiscing. Enjoy the Walkers and post some rim-toned beauties if you can.

Maywood.

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

    Great tributes all to Phil's missed capabilities. Here's my favorite of his.

    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.

    Great looking walkers!

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Walkers are definitely one of the best US coin designs ever!
