NEWP from FUN via David Kahn, and my first coin with a sticker

Walkerguy21D · January 13, 2015 8:43AM

First I must say, all those on the forum who have spoken highly of David Kahn in the past were right on the mark.
He and his side kick forum member TPRC are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

This coin is a nice upgrade from my XF40. David had two AU 19P walkers - which is two more than anyone else on the FUN bourse had. I don't recall even seeing any XF coins for that matter. The AU58 was also a very nice coin, but I liked the natural surfaces and strike on this coin,
and it was priced substantially lower than the 58.

I've never met Mr. Kahn in person....But he always has some nice ORIGINAL looking walkers on his website. I've helped myself to 3 or 4 of them.

Nice looking coin of a really tough date!

Hard one to get in any grade.

It was great to meet you Walkerguy and it was nice to see you get that coin, which is just as nice in hand.

David Kahn is a very knowledgeable coin dealer, and he really knows his CBH's.

Great looking Walker, Walkerguy21D.......congrats on your first sticker too.

CircOnly · January 13, 2015 9:47AM

steveben · January 13, 2015 9:48AM

winky · January 13, 2015 9:50AM

AU walkers are tuff especially all 1919 year. This one is very nice.

Flatwoods · January 13, 2015 9:55AM

Very nice looking coin.

CoinJunkie · January 13, 2015 10:23AM

Gorgeous Walker there!

Walkerguy21D · January 13, 2015 10:29AM

<< <<< still a sticker virgin >>

Yes, indeed - I should add, most of my coins were purchased pre-sticker era, and I've never submitted any for review.

goldbug · January 13, 2015 10:29AM

I recently "found" David Kahn by accident and purchased a few coins. Fair prices and great original coins.

golden · January 13, 2015 11:08AM

David Kahn is a nice guy and a real class act.

Ablinky · January 13, 2015 11:20AM

Very pretty Walker, the color is far above average, a nice find.

gypsylea · January 13, 2015 11:26AM

Nice find!

AnkurJ · January 13, 2015 11:53AM

Welcome to the dark green side

Kaline6 · January 13, 2015 12:32PM

Love the color and the surfaces, very attractive coin!

astrorat · January 13, 2015 12:46PM

You really should avoid David Kahn ...

... until I have had a chance to view his coins first!

David is a real gentleman and very knowledgable about coins ... especially Bust halves.

He is one of those rare dealers from whom you can unabashedly buy coins sight unseen.

Swampboy · January 13, 2015 12:55PM

Solid looking Walker!
Congrats.

dagman100 · January 13, 2015 1:00PM

Very Nice

lkeigwin · January 13, 2015 1:30PM

Nice choice! Looks like a winner.

Dave Kahn is as reliable as the sun rising in the east. I cannot say enough nice things about him. He's the paragon of the perfect dealer.

What everyone else has said

BAJJERFAN · January 13, 2015 3:24PM

Nice score Greg.

jdimmick · January 13, 2015 4:02PM

Dave Kahn
is one of the most honest reputable dealers that I have ever met. Upstanding guy in the highest respect.

he busts his tail getting around literally all over to locate inventory.

bosco5041 · January 13, 2015 6:27PM

Very nice walker.I haven't purchased from David Kahn yet but I am checking him out.

barberkeys · January 13, 2015 6:35PM

Wonderful looking Walker, congrats.

And Dave Kahn is one of the best, IMO.

kaz · January 13, 2015 9:37PM

Now that's how an AU Walker should look! Great coin. David Kahn always has nice coins for sale and it's good to hear about all the good buying experiences with him.

etexmike · January 13, 2015 9:45PM

That is a great looking Walker.

Mike

crypto79 · January 13, 2015 10:24PM

Man that is a tough date and a nice coin. I would take that over a white 58 any day

ricko · January 13, 2015 10:30PM

Nice WLH......Cheers, RickO

supertooth · January 13, 2015 11:42PM

Greg---- Very nice AU coin. Extremely difficult in XF--AU grades. Glad to see that you are still looking at improving the Walkers. Bob [supertooth]

AMRC · January 13, 2015 11:49PM

First Green Sticker? Have you been avoiding them? One has never come up that you needed? I want to hear about this part of the story?

ElmerFusterpuck · January 13, 2015 11:55PM

Super nice coin! I did see that one the first day I was there. Fortunately I collect in the VF-XF range so no danger of me snatching that one up before you, unlike the 1817 15 stars large cent.

David Kahn is one of the best in the business for sure, there are definitely some other dealers that could takes their cues from him.

duck620 · January 14, 2015 12:17AM

Really nice looking walker. I'm in the process of building a short set (1941-1947) of walkers in AU-58. Need some help.Do you have David Kahn's site address ,so I take a look at his walkers?

Thanks...........................Ken.

Thanks Goldbully.

Very Nice, congratulations on the coin and adding your first green bean to your collection.

Be careful though, I used to think I didn't need a green bean on my coins.
Held that way of thinking right up until I got my first one.
Now I find myself seeking them out.......and mumbling something about "my precious"

Walkerfan · January 16, 2015 11:12AM

Sweet Walker---Congrats, Greg. The surfaces look good. 1919 is a tough year in grades XF and higher. Nice to have a green bean, too. Tougher to find nice coins these days w/o CAC stickers.
