Lucy... you're DROOLING!

Very nice Russ whats the grade?

LucyBop · January 17, 2003 9:55AM

What can I say... Yeah I love Frankies, but a nice shiny Walking Lady...... SLURP!

DanC · January 17, 2003 9:57AM

Walkers ARE beautiful... I must admit.

Russ - in his typically 'anal' way - is putting together a VERY tasty set too. All primo examples of MS-64.
Might not get some people excited... but they're very, very nice.

Russ,great camera work. I would guess MS66!

As are all the Walkers in my short set, it's an MS64. The goal is to build a set with maximum eye appeal with minimum money.

Russ, In my opinion you are not only collecting coins that are beautiful (Walkers and Franklins) but also collecting coins that have a tremendous potential to advance in value. I bet you could assemble several short sets of Walkers at current prices in MS-64 and make some serious money in the near future.

When and if the new collectors that have recently entered the market start expanding into the obsolete issues, I expect Walkers, Franklins, Mercurys, Buffalos and Indians to be the first choices because they can still be had in aestheticly pleasing grades at a modest cost. Short Set Mercs and Walkers leading the price advances.

I also agree with your selection of the grade of MS-64 Blast White! The San Francisco minted Walkers in the Short Set have a large spread between MS 63 and MS 65. If I were a speculative investor, I would be actively buying these in white 64.

I've checked out your site and viewed your coins. You certainly seem to be picking up PQ coins for the grade. I do love those Walkers........

<< <i>If I were a speculative investor, I would be actively buying these in white 64 >>

heheh... you would FREAK if you knew how much money I'd made off his stock picks alone!

Suffice it to say... I owe... big time. This guy knows his stuff. I don't know HOW - I just know he does.
over the years... time and time again - it's been proven. I don't even question it anymore.

I'm warming up to Walkers. it'll be a cold day in Hades before I buy a Shriver Commem, but the Walkers...
Very nice.

Yeah, its those hairy Kennedy's that have us wondering about you....

Russ, that's a fine looking coin, but what I'm really in awe about are your skills with a camera. Good pics, I'm starting to take it for granted when I click on one of your threads, but the photography is great.

That is a very nice one for grading just MS64. I would have to see it up close to know why it didn't get a MS65. I completed the short set in MS65 with a few MS66. Now I'm working on the mid set from 1934. Oh, I did get the 1941-S in MS64. I think it is way overpriced right now in 65.

ClarkOfKent · January 17, 2003 11:08AM

That's a nice one, Russ.

So.... what happened to your pursuit of only walkers with excellent luster?
