Short Set WLH prices falling

This was posted a week or so ago. In fact, I emailed Mr. Printz regarding a Walker that I had in my possession seeking his opinion(s) before this supposed plummet takes place.

I wish the dealers I've been trying to buy from are aware of this. Prices were very
strong and supply was very tight at the last show I went to. I agree about crappy
66's getting dumped, though.

I got an ms65 43-d back from pcgs a month or so ago. I thought I could get $350 easy, maybe $400. No one is bidding now on it at $285 on ebay

I was getting ready to sell off my short set going back to 1935 of mostly MS65 & 66s, but not now. Will just lock them up for awhile.

Haletj,

43 D is a pretty common date Walker,was 350.00 in the boom of 89,no mas !

Im thinking 150.00-200.00 tops !

Sorry

Prices for WLH's were discounted heavily at FUN.

The prices on eBay are all over the place for walkers. Some of the larger dealers are not biting on giving things away and asking a premium and some seem to be dumping the suspect '65-'66 coins. The prices for the '41S, '42S, '43S & '44S do seem to be falling. I'll fill those spots when they fall more.

And yes... there are some very suspect '66 coins. TNFC is trying to sell a '36D in MS66 for the 2nd relisting starting at $795 and no one is biting. But, on the other side, I still haven't figured out what got into one seller who is attempting to sell a '37S(MS66) starting at $2500 and a '33S(MS65) starting at $3940. The '37S is $1600 more than I paid and doesn't even appear to be as good as mine.... and mine is somewhat suspect.

So, what's the reason(s)?

PQ MS 65 Walkers seem like a bargain to me. People were stretching for 66s a year or two ago. Perhaps they wished for 67s? Anyway a nice common date Walker with a good strike and few marks on the leg in MS 65 seems like a good buy to me. If you can buy any for less than $150 it seems cheap. Well, I can't predict the future and they certianly could become cheaper... Anyway they are a beautiful design and really look good in gem.

I had heard that a very well known marketer that had pushed prices higher has since backed away.

Yeah, or maybe $200-$250. Ain't it nice of the pcgs price guide to list it at $425 so I would think $350 actually would be fair. (Yeah yeah, I know I shouldn't have even looked at the guide, just usually don't have ms65 Walkers to sell).

50 % of guide is high unless its a wunder coin !

Otherwise 30% is about right.

127.50 is my guess
