I cheated and checked your registry to see the grade but you haven't entered it yet. I still like that 20-D you have.

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I like yours a lot, too.

I think the pictures are pretty overexposed and way too "hot", but it looks like a very nice Walker!

The Dakota collection was a massive collection of WLHs.
Legend still has the 1916 example in 67 for sale for those who want to start the collection with a bang.

You have a keen eye. Strike is sharp, even for a Philly coin....I thought the same thing. Fields look incredibly clean, too. Luster is there. Booming on the left and right facing side of the obv.
Can you tell me anything else about the Dakota collection? I noticed it a few years ago but know little about it other than it was a full, high end set. Thanks.
<< <i>Nice coin. But I tend to collect coins and not collectors.

I feel that the coin is PQ, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. It has a CAC sticker, as well.
<< <i>Beautiful WLH..... just the way I like them ...
I knew you'd like it RickO!! Thanks!!
Nobody attempted to gtg, so I'll reveal it---MS 66. Looks 67 to me.
Thanks to all who responded!

In a separate, $2.5 million transaction, Legend has acquired the Dakota Collection consisting of approximately 2,000 high-grade 20th century U.S. type coins.
"It includes some of the finest known Buffalo nickels, Standing Liberty quarters and Walking Liberty half dollars. There are choice BU 1916 and 1918 Buffalo overdates and superb gem 1919, 1925, 1926 and 1927 San Francisco Mint Buffalos. There also are fantastic quality early Walkers including a gem 1921-S graded PCGS MS65 and 1923-S graded PCGS MS66," said Sperber.
"This is one of the most amazing 20th century collections I have ever seen. You can tell the collector had passion and a sense for quality. Each coin has been a treat to see."
She described the Dakota Collection seller as "a very low key individual who has collected all his life and quietly assembled this particular 20th century type collection over 25 years. He’s only selling now because he is preparing to retire. He feels he has too many collectibles and doesn’t want a huge collection of thousands of coins to be a future burden on his family. He’s actually still collecting coins, but now he’s building smaller sets."
