Two more Walkers for my PCGS set.

This 1945-S was priced right and the strike was AMAZING for the issue. Clean surfaces with nice splashes of toning.

This 1934 P coin is in an older, non-pronged slab and looks clean, sharp and lustrous. A crafty old vet once told me to pick up these early 1930s Walkers when the right opportunity presents itself. The 1934 P is the rarest Philly coin in the intermediate through late date set.

    Both are good pick-ups but love the look of the 45-S.

    I love the luster on that 34! It looks way better than a new SAE!

    Awesome strike on both, those 's' mints are tough. Really loving the '34.

    That 1934 looks like a lovely coin under that light toning!

    Nice coins but it would be nice to know what pcgs thought of them!

    They are both great coins, I like the '34 the best. They are in great shape...I really like it when old silver looks so fresh... Cheers, RickO

    I like them both, and both appear to be 66 though the photos of the 34 aren't as good as the 45-S.

    In my experience the 38 comes up much less frequently than the 34, and the 35 is the toughest to find nice.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Thank You.

    I think that both photos are of equal quality but they were just photographed in different lighting.

    1934 is the rarest (in MS 65 or finer) but I'll agree that the 1935 is toughest to find nice followed by the 1938. The 1934 usually comes struck rather well.

    I like them both a lot. The reverse on he 34 is amazing.

    Nice coins! The 45-S is better made than some of the other 40's S mints, but they are still tough to find decent. It's a bit easier to find nice '34's, I hardly ever see them with a rotten strike.
