The Barber Thread is well over 1,700 posts...

I'm sure there are a number of collectors who'd like to
post their Walking Liberty Half Dollar images too.

I'll start with...

This was for me the toughest date to locate in AU.

    << <i>Had to start out with your big trump card, huh Mike? >>



    I expect you to post the coin I told you about - I'll be disappointed
    if you don't. Of course, provided you actually win it !!


    Edit to add:

    50cent...you may not want mine when you see another that will be posted soon !!

    -------------

    Broadstruck...what's up with that 1944 ? Looks like a die-sunk overstrike.
    Nice errors...I may have to come up to visit you this Summer to look at your collection.

    For some reason, I think that the concept of a "194?" coin is Very COOL!

    Broadstruck...what's up with that 1944 ? Looks like a die-sunk overstrike.

    It's has a scrap chuck of silver struck right into the center, do the the skirt line it looks like a screw head.

    It's a poorman's plugged 1795 FH $1.

    Who'd have thought something like that could happen - a screw head imbedded ? Amazing.
    Thanks for sharing your coins with us - your scope in collecting errors is all encompassing.

    I picked up a couple of common dated coins in PCGS 58 ... as its easier to buy these already holdered than to have the Dansco specimens holdered.

    i believe Broadstruck was saying that it had the look of an imbedded screw head (not that it actually was a screw head)

    correct me if i'm wrong Broadstruck

    savoyspecial, Your Right... it's NOT a Screw just a chuck of scrap silver.

    This coin history wise has been to Anacs, Pcgs, and is now in a NGC MS65 holder all confirming it's a Strike-In.

    Two other eBay bidders also recognized this is actually the popular and much more valuable Doubled Die Reverse model from 1946, although the seller didn't have a clue. As a result, he probably got 4-5 times what he was expecting.

    When in doubt, don't.

    I posted this one a week or so ago as a NEWP I just acquired, graded as a Fine by the dealer, and I did pay strong F+ money for it, and was quite happy to do so. It is destined for forum member Guitarwes' collection, who is assembling a nice original set of F+ walkers.
