I have been searching for some time, but I cannot find many. They can be proof or business strike.

Do these coins really exist?

Yes.

They are not easy. A few recent photographed coins and one of my favorites. MJ

O they are out there all right. I see them all over mostly on eBay. At the January F U N
show I met a guy that had many and was working on a set. They where Beautiful
rainbows and other toning. He said he had anywhere from 100 to all most 2K in some
of the nice rainbow ones. They carry a large premium like nice colorful Peace Dollars
and I feel just as hard to find but that's the fun part ain't it, the looking.

Lot of times the obv has more than the rev

They're not very common. I got this one on the BST a year or so back.

It doesn't hold a candle to that 45-D above a couple of posts, but it's the best I've found on my budget.

I absolutely love the toned Walkers posted above. The Walking Liberty Half Dollar has got to be one of the top 5 most beautiful coins of all time. Beautiful examples all. I think my favorite so far might be the 1937-D, just great color on that. Although the green reverse on the 1942 proof is stunning.

I found this gorgeous toned PCGS MS66 Walker on eBay back in May of this year as a Buy It Now coin for $750 (a 2.7x toning premium). It was simply the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Did I hesitate on the price? For a few seconds. Have I spent a second regretting it since? A resounding no. Since I bought it, and having had a few months to study the prices of other toned Walkers, I actually think I got this coin cheap. (I saw that green-backed 1942 Proof Walker for sale for $4000, which is a wow price, but it is pretty!)

Nice WLH, WingedLiberty1957. Burnt orange. Cool.

And welcome!
Lance.

MJ's 45-D and 37-D are exquisite originality. Stunning.

This was an entire PDS mint set in a cardboard holder.

These are the Walkers

I love the PDS set, coinsarefun! Did you sell that one?

The coin posted below is not mine. However it fired off on Heritage a few weeks ago for $1800 + $270 buyers premium = $2070. The PCGS guide price is around $950, so it sold for roughly a 2.2x toning premium. In any case, these 2-sided toned Walkers are out there, but they are not cheap.

Wow, now that is what I wanted to see. They are few and far between. Why do you think this is? Are they fewer because of the coin cleaning that was standard during this time? When you look at almost all of the series from the 1800s the toned coins seem plentiful.

I guess I will have to look harder and pull the trigger when they pop up.

Thanks for the eye candy.

Hi WingedLiberty1957

No, none out of the set has been sold. I have kept all of them intact.
They are in My Registry Set, it used to be ranked number 7 a few years back
I can easily upgrade the Lincoln's and Jefferson's, then it would probably rank in the top 3 but I want the set to be as it came to me
