Nice photo Bryan. I think the details on the WLH show up better on toners. That's a beauty.

LucyBop · November 11, 2003 1:12AM

awesome images!

That is a beautiful coin. I don't understand grading for WLHs. I guess the strike quality varies.

Neat looking coin. Is that likely to be envelope toning?

Not sure as we do not buy or get that many walkers with color.

XpipedreamR · November 11, 2003 3:37AM

Great coin/great pics!

stman · November 11, 2003 3:45AM

Ah, that the best you Texas boy's can do?

Tonekiller · November 11, 2003 3:48AM

Question - I don't see many attractively toned Walkers. Re the Walkers shown, they are all
"Short Set" dates. Is this the norm re attractively toned Walkers?

dan1ecu · November 11, 2003 5:11AM

Beautiful! I'd sure pay a premium for one like that...

<< Question - I don't see many attractively toned Walkers. Re the Walkers shown, they are all

Most of the attractive ones I see are indeed short set dates. I have seen some from the early dates but not too many. Not to say they are not out there. I do have a 1916s graded PCGS au58 with some rather attractive album toning.

For me to buy a toned Walker it needs to IMO, set itself apart from others. At shows I see a fair amount with some attractive toning but not quite for me. Prices on the high grade Walkers have been increasing lately. Now I'm starting to see more toned ones offered. Funny how that happens isn't it?

My criteria for buying toned Walkers in high grade is they meet the assigned grade without a bump for color. I just say NO to market grading. Now yes there will be a substantial premium to pay, but I want the grade to be ALL there.

Now here's a toned Walker -- it's a 1937-P graded MS68 by NGC and is unquestionably the coolest WL half I've ever owned.

Mike,
Your beautiful 37 I believe is one of the coins on my fantasy desktop picture that someone through out here a while back that I downloaded. Does anyone here remember that, awesome toned morgans mostly, a few buffs and gold and believe Mike's 37 was in with the bunch or one thats toned just like it but how likly is that.

YAWN??????????????? Gee Steve, I'm crushed (LOL)........

Mike

jbsteven · November 11, 2003 7:46AM

ok my turn. It is a 1945 ms67 PCGS holder

coingame2000 · November 11, 2003 9:59AM

Alan,

You are correct -- that 1937 Walker is included in a gorgeous image (comprised of a number of incredible coins from our inventory) designed by my wife for the home page of our website.

RGL · November 11, 2003 10:25AM

Man, keep 'em coming ...

stman · November 11, 2003 12:12PM

Mike, glad I crushed you with my flattery. Hopefully you seen my wink. Yours looks to be pretty wild, and I hope to take a look at Santa Clara.

JBsteven.... We waited all day for THAT? Actually all the Walkers posted look nice. I like that once in a while we have a toned Walker thread.

jbsteven · November 11, 2003 12:19PM

yep that was it.

now that ms68* Walker that is around somewhere............

stman · November 11, 2003 12:28PM

One of my favorites, and matches your PCGS ms67

I need a better image of this one, Original skin so thick the white looks like a pearl.

puff · November 11, 2003 12:58PM

Did someone say that only the "short set" had nice toning? 1939 PCGS ms68

stman · November 11, 2003 1:01PM

Puff, that's a beauty. Please post that purple album toned one you just got. I love that coin and I WANT that coin.

puff · November 11, 2003 1:09PM

<< Puff, that's a beauty. Please post that purple album toned one you just got. I love that coin and I WANT that coin. >>

Do you mean this one? 1934-S PCGS MS66

stman · November 11, 2003 1:12PM

Oh yeah, that's the one. That coin does certain things to me that very few "Coins" are able to do. If you know what I mean?

I know what you mean stman..... I look at my Walkers everyday, and particularly the 34-S.... To be honest the pics do not do justice to it. I guess I could send it to you for a up close and personal viewing!

If you promise to return it!

stman · November 11, 2003 1:34PM

Puff that's nice of you and I would return it, but not sure what condition it would be when it got back to you.

Hey you wanted my 42d? Well done deal? I know better but a guy can try I guess. I like the color on my 42d and in person is much better as well. Yours being an earlier date and I can imagine rocking that coin around.

Yeah tha 42-D would look nice next to the 34-S!

As long as it was in my collection!

Nice color on this Walker-
