Pretty Gem Walker with a little bit of color... I love coins like this

I've said it plenty of times before: Walkers are among my very favorite designs, and as much as I'm a type collector, I always have space for a pretty Walker. I got this one nearly 16 years ago and still think it's a great coin. Lustrous, just enough color to be interesting, and overall clean surfaces. PCGS MS65.

    Nice coin & great photos! :)

    Almost looks like you could feel the design if you touched your screen. ;)

    Really nice coin, and I'll second the great photos sentiment.

    I agree. I like nice rim toning too. I just bought a Standing Liberty Quarter that could be the little sister of this Half.

    I agree. I too have a late date Waller with some delicate toning that accentuates the design elements. Walkers are just too cool and they are accessible to all which is nice!

    I love walkers best 20th century type coin. I am having trouble finding one with color for my type set, as I already have a beautiful white coin with slight toning

    I agree with your assertions.
    Beautiful example as well!
    The subtle rim toning is superb. :-)
