how strong is the Walker market, and will it grow/diminish?

Being new to the beautiful Walking Liberty half series, I know many of you have collected this series long enough to form a judgement of its market "value" and history. Have you noticed ups and downs in certain grades/years of the Walker series, and what do you think the future holds for this series?
thanks for your input!

Might be a good time to make a few purchases in the series if you plan on holding them for a while.
I sold a few recently and had to take a little hit to move them.
There are ups and downs on these just like any other series. Right now it is down.

If I had to guess, I would say they will continue to underperform.
The contrary side: the lack of responses from Walker enthusiasts might mean there is no where to go but up.
The later dates have been soft for a couple of reasons. First these coins were saved in roll quantities, and there are plenty of run-of-the-mill Uncs out there. Second the grading from pieces in MS-65 holders is all over the place. If one is patient and looks at the coins, you can purchase pieces in MS-64 holders and even (rarely) MS-63 hodlers that are better than some of the pieces in MS-65 holders. Yet the MS-65 coins bid for more than twice as much in many cases. It was no mystery to me when the MS-65 bids dropped. A lot of the coins just didn't really make the grade, and only those with the faith that all graded coins are the same would buy them without really looking.
