Where does it say Spain, it says FORIGEN, I think that's in South America.
Sorry, I have not read the article......but I have never known Proof walkers to be all that popular, so I don't see a reason for prices to rise now unless some marketer folks start buying them up.
How does one get excited over 7 years of mintage?
Now I have to ask why do hoards of American coins end up in foreign hoards?
May it be that ill gotten gains were stashed where they could not be easily found?

I enjoy short, focused sets, but I think I might be in the minority there.
I've decided recently to take a shot doing a complete set of proof sets from '36 to '42, so I hoping the prices on the walkers soften up a bit in the near term
The hoard couldn't be from spain it seems like hoarding Walking liberty proofs would take a back seat to other things in the middle of a civil war
<< <i>We can't stress enough-the huge forigen PR Walker hoard that hung over the market for years is now disbursed. Prices WILL NOT stay this low much longer (not a pitch, but a promise).

From the prior week's market report (7/7):
The massive hoard that Spain was dumping is now all sold. Included in the hoard was thousands of MS coins and hundreds of Proof Walkers.

You mean like Heraldic Eagle Dollars? Yeah, I agree. Boring as hell.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.

If it were in Spain it would have been Furrin.

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......
