    That's a very nice coin. I have a 1936-D that definitely fits the definition of fully struck.

    It seems like 1933, '34 and '36 (all mints) were great years for Walker strikes. It would be almost cool to see a very mushy 1934 or 1936 Philly Walker.

    Unbelievably sharp strike on the 34-S. It's nice to see one where her left hand doesn't look like an oven mitt. Congrats on a nice piece. Love the color on that 45 as well.

    And mine!! Sharpest thumb I’ve seen on one of these!! Knuckles and index finger are pretty sharp, too.

    Early date, so the skirt lines look different....but the hand...the HAND!

    Very nice, especially for a San Francisco. I normally try and keep one of each type...Walkers are no exception.

    Then there's this one that was discussed a few months ago. If it's real I would say it's the most complete strike I've ever seen on a Walker, better than any proof.

  • Bullet01Bullet01 Posts: 95 ✭✭✭

    Wow. That 1933 is probably the most impressive strike I've seen!

    Excuse my dumb question, but how do strikes like these happen and then the majority end up being week? Were these like first test strikes before the machine started pressing the rest at full speed?

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know if it was ever determined to be real or not. If it is real it has to be the most special Walker in existence.

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Personally I have my doubts about the coin.

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The 1933-S normally comes nice, just not this nice.

  • Sandman70gtSandman70gt Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice topic, made me look thru mine.

    I've posed this MS-66 36-D before, but I think it's the most hammered Walker I have:


    Hard working die on this one. Die has been polished such that Liberty has 'floating fingers' in her outstretched hand.

  • Cougar1978Cougar1978 Posts: 8,808 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Absolutely! And a 1934-S

    Proofs are said to be fully struck but have weakness on the left hand. Is this strike weakness or die problem ?

  • JimnightJimnight Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's a real nice strike.
