I caught a liberty walker bug!

I don't know why, but I just got hooked on the liberty walking half. I just think it is pretty. I started putting together an inexpensive set for the heck of it last weekend at the Chattanooga show. Here is my latest win for only a couple of bucks (I'm trying to combine el cheapo wins together):

    Walkers rock! To me, they are the most beautiful silver coin the mint has ever produced. I think they are also one that looks good in pretty much any grade.

    I also like the walkers.
    The thing is though, to me, I like walkers that are nicely toned and/or are pristine.

    The ones that are worn just don't appeal to me image

    The same obv on the SAEs are what drew me to getting them and completing a set for myself after getting a set for my son (in MS). I am still working on a 2nd set in proof, but some of them get expensive.

    Dollardude....enjoy the WLs....and, good luck getting the ones you like...they are neat coins!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Thanks! I also like the silver American eagles, and I have a whole raw MS set of these that I am upgrading to PCGS.

    Is the Walker Bug like the Flu? Is it contagious? Is there a cure?

    Do you want to be cured? Suger cured and smoked.

    I like the walker up until 86. but than the design came out on the gold/silver eagles. now you can't get away from them. I'm hooked on drapped bust.

    Is that because they induce vomiting? image

    Walkers are nice looking coins, and as long as you can resist the BU bug, you will be able to get pretty far in the set.

    A "short set" from 1941 to '47 is can be done in BU, but when you get into the teens and '20s you had better have DEEP pockets. Those coins are really expensive in BU and rightly so because they are quite scarce.
