Got a small piece of numismatic history, and a nice walker.

I thought this was neat, and couldn't pass it up. (Sellers photos)



Anybody know the approximate time frame this "slab" could have been? Is it OK to keep the coin in this holder or does it likely contain PVC?

    circa 1984/5 I believe. It's been in there 30 years, so I think you're good. The coin is in a cointain inside the flip.



    Nice gemmy Walker.

    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    Ahh, I didn't know it was in another container. I'll just leave it.

    In those years I was really into garbage pail kids and transformers/GI Joe, and I think my grandpa had just given me a bunch of wheats to poke into a whitman board.

    Quite a few of these have popped up recently (about 8 in 3 months) that I hadn't seen. I wonder if more are going to keep showing up slowly?

    I agree with keeping the coin in the existing DHRC flip since it's being protected by the Cointain holder.



    Very nice pickup!

    Pretty cool!
    I agree with keeping it as-is, unless you think it has a real shot at a 66 or higher.

    That's a really lovely Gem Walker. Congrats. The vintage flip is cool, too.

    sweet looking walker in there in one of those old david hall flips too

    what's not to like



    shame pcgs doesn't have special holders as option for these...it would add some extra coolness
