I sent in eight raw halves from my Dansco album which I had saved for years - although I got a couple of Genuines [ which puzzeled me ] here are the the True Views I did receive:

Monstrous coins, Mike. Looking forward to seeing them at Summer FUN. And if you want to blow out any of those 'no grades', give me a holler - I like all of them!
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I can think of a few that should get posted here-- Oreville's 1921 or JBN's 1919. I don't have any new images but will try to keep it going with one of my favorites:

I believe this WLH dedication thread does not have the staying power of the Barber half thread because the later WLHs are not collectible in lower grades, while the Barbers are collectible in all grades for all dates.
Nevertheless, thanks for resurrecting this thread.
These are Heritage pictures. Here is lot description: "The frosty, silver-white surfaces are brilliant and impeccably preserved on this nearly flawless Premium Gem. A bold strike, including a split thumb and good details on the head, complements the immaculate appearance. Those characteristics make this piece a prime candidate for cherrypicking."
Previously in the very nice Joseph C. Thomas Collection.
The coin in hand has that classic 'old silver' look. The fields are also textured, or 'pebbled', or medallic. Personally I prefer this look to the smoothed fields adopted later in the series. The strike at Liberty's hand is very strong, and most of her cap's detail are present. This is a nice coin, and I'm proud to have it as my collection's inaugural piece.
After a six-month drought for Walkers, I recently bought one for my collection, but I don't have images yet. Between JBN, MJ, Walkerguy21D and quite a few other Walker enthusiasts (as well as MFH), we ought to be able to keep this thing going. Here's one I picked up last year:

True enough, breakdown, unfortunately I'm WAY too lazy to photograph most of my coins.
But here is one sold not too long ago to a forumite; not in the same league as your 19-D, but a respectable coin nonetheless:
And here is one Todd imaged for me, though even his impressive skills didn't quite capture the luster and true cameo contrast on this coin (16-S, NGC AU58....it was a raw coin in my Dansco for years):
Those are beauties boys. This one was from the Wheat collection that Pinnacle once handled. However, I got it from Legend. MJ

Bringing the thread up for the weekend: Population news is that the seventh 45-S in 67 was certified. Note: Only 2 67s were graded back in 07.
Referring to the MS67 1940 from Justacommeman posted earlier and repeated in the previous post, I'll take this opportunity to show just how incredibly subtle the difference between a 67 and 68 can be. Please do not infer that I, myself, can tell the difference. Certainly not.
This is a MS68 1940 from the GBW and Jack Lee collections and currently pedigreed as Charles Schultz (not THAT Charles Schultz). Riveting in hand - a real looker.
I would surmise that Justacommeman's 67 is as riveting in hand. Sometimes the highest grade coins are really just a numbers' game......
Purchased from Pinnacle during their selling of the Charles Schultz collection in 2007. Pinnacle photos.
Here is the Pinnacle description from the Schultz sale catalog: "Here is yet another heart pounding MS68, with a rich yellow center surrounded by ice-blue with an added dollop of rainbow iridescence at the upper obverse rim. It is mark-free with full, booming luster. A sensational coin by all standards."
I agree with their assessment.
Over 60% of my WLH collection has been obtained through Pinnacle. It is impossible to fully express my appreciation to Christine Monk (who has moved on to Numismatic Americana) and Kathleen Duncan for their help - though I've tried my best to express this sentiment though letter and gift to both.
Having their help is integral to my immense satisfaction with my collection, as I'm simply a starry-eyed collector who LOVES this design and my history collecting the series as a kid through birthday gifts from my parents.
1. I just happened to catch back up on this thread and read Jim's (JBN) post from Friday. Just wow, what a great coin pedigreed to the GBW collection.
2. Glad to see Joe posting some very nice WLHs. It is good to take a break from Buffalos once in awhile.
3. Here's a coin I purchased from Steve Twitty (rkfish here) at PQ Dollars a few years back. Central strike is slightly soft but the fields are semi-mirrored, lending a very cool appearance in hand that no photographer, not even Todd, could fully capture. I have been offered a number of MS67's but I just really like this coin and have no plans to trade out of it.

Three years plus since anyone posted a Walking Liberty Half Dollar.
The Barber thread is now well over 5,000 posts. When this thread was
started, there were only 1,700 posts on the Barber thread.
Does this mean that no one likes to show off their Walkers ??

The pictures do not do this coin justice. Thin original skin is sooo thick. This coin oooozes originality.
This will not be part of my main walker set but a separate mini set.

That 1921 walker now has two siblings, a 1919 and 1920 P mint PCGS/CAC MS-66.
What a trio of Philly Mint walkers!

I'd like to see the 1919!

The 19 and 21 are fabulous but the strike on this 1920 doesnt look strong enough to me unless its the picture.
