NEWP: 1934s Walker w/ Color

TommyTypeTommyType Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭✭✭
I've been interrupted by "real life" recently, so haven't had a chance to interact here much, or really work on my collection. But I won a Walker on GC that grabbed my attention, and wanted to see what the masses think.

I'm not much of a "flashy color" guy in general, but with a long series like the WLH's, a little variety helps keep my interest! I paid about 1/3 over PCGS guide value. But at this grade, that works out to about $40, so it's hard to go broke....or make a HORRIBLE mistake.

Like it? Love it? Hate it? I haven't seen it in hand yet (GC's pictures), so....will I like it when I get it?? My experience says their pictures are pretty good....

    That's a great coin and I think you will always find interest in a coin like that if you decide to sell.

    Very purdy ! I wish I could find a 34-S Peace $ with those colors. I love the subtle blues.

    I think it will be great when you see it in front of you.

    Looks to be a keeper from here.

    I like your 34-S. The toning is hard to evaluate from the slab pics. It has the potential to look way better in hand. And that is part of the excitement of buying a coin sight unseen and waiting for the postman to arrive.

    I think you will like it better in hand. And then if you do get a True View that better captures the toning.

    I really like it and I'm confident you will too.
    It's a keeper.

    Thanks for the input. Like the way it looks.....so it would be an extra bonus if it looks even better in hand, as suggested it might!

    Pre 1941 Walkers can get tough in high grades. Fantastic colors on that one.

    Nice 'sea green' Walker. Tough date, too.

    I do have it in hand now....have for awhile. But since you resurrected the thread.... image

    I REALLY like the coin. There is much more red/maroon color to it low on the obverse, and high on the reverse than the picture shows. And the "spottiness" of the toning is much less evident in hand. In short, to my eyes, it really does look better as some suggested it might.

    Unfortunately, my photo skills probably won't let me do any better, (or even as well), as the presented photo. Someday, when I have some time, I may figure coin photography out.

    It's a nice addition to my set. Much different than most of the white uncirculated and gray circulated coins it joins.

    The coins from GC always look better in hand IMO. I passed on your Walker, but had it been AU58 I would have snagged it. Nice color.
