Unfortunately, it's not mine. It's in the upcoming ANR/Stacks sale.

    I saw that coin, looks like a pretty nice error. I wonder what it'll go for?
  • seanqseanq Posts: 8,735 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It's from the San Fran Mint to boot. As one of the most eye-catching and dramatic striking errors you'll ever see on a Walker, I bet it easily goes for at least $8-10,000.

    Lucky that the date and MM were spared.

    That's a pretty safe bet.

    That is the first Walker I have seen like that.

    It will go for a lot more than my pockets will allow.

    That is one great error. Love it!

    With a date and mm visible, I say over 10K.

    It will sell for over $20,000. alone, or figured for more as part of the 3 piece group offered as the next lot afterwards.

    Stopped by to see what Fred said...that is one amazing walker! Wondering, did that get out into circulation or was is smuggled out? (minted before the "riddler" was placed into service)

    I had all three pieces "raw", in my hand at the
    ANA/Denver.

    The D/S's are great, and the off-metal is unique,
    to my knowledge.....

    That is amazing. Wow!
  • ByersByers Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I examined them as well. They surfaced at the Denver ANA. The dealer selectively showed them to a few dealers, entertained offers and comments, and then decided to auction them off instead. The off-metal is unique for the planchet it is struck on.

    Here's the only other known Walker struck on any foreign planchet from any country

    I'll guess $25k plus due to the date, mint mark and dramatic double strike.

    Could you imagine buying a $1,000 face bag of "junk" silver and finding this coin in there?
