Not mine (wish they were). These belong to a friend collector from Ohio. He has spent the last 20 years putting together a colorful set of Walkers. He has given me permission to post 3 of them.

I concur!!! The 17 D Rev. is especially amazing, as you don't often see early Walkers with that kind of color.

Wow, those babies are awesome!

A complete set of toned MS Walkers is as about as difficult as I can imagine. I though putting together a complete toned Peace $ set was tough, but that is some feat and he has some beautiful coins.

I'll name it the skirmish creek collection, nice stuff.

Spectacular coins. Especially the reverses. As nice as I've ever seen!

Not generally a fan of the toning on Walking halves, but love all three of these!

Those are beauties!!!

I like them all and wish they were mine! Who did the photography on these?

WOW!!!! That '17-D is unbelievable. I literally gasped out loud and had to use my hand to close my mouth. That set has to be ridiculous!!

very nice. I love toned Walkers.

Great coins!

Wow - and like others stated, that 17D Rev is out of this world.
Toning like that is usually reserved for Seated coinage, amazing to see
it on an early walker.

I couldn't help it........I had to look it up. That 1917 D Rev is from FUN Show 2009 and sold for $2990 (including juice). The surfaces are magnificent with deep pools of luster in the fields. Can't believe it didn't Star!! That's the year (in October) that I got back into Walker collecting. Great coin that would sell for quite a premium today.
