Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I love the color on the '34 and the strike on the '44. Both, beautiful coins!

  • etexmikeetexmike Posts: 6,852 ✭✭✭
    I think the Walker design is fantastic.

    Add color to the coin like these two have and they are drop dead gorgeous.

    Really really pretty coins!!! Excellent pickups, MJ!!! image Do you have a registry set with pix so that we can see all your Walkers in one fell swoop?

    Whenever I buy a toner I try and figure out how it acquired it's toning. Just for interests sakes, how do you think the '34 acquired that sort of toning?
  • Both are very nice image
  • ElcontadorElcontador Posts: 7,700 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks for the eye-candy. 7 is a serious grade for a Walker. Of the two, I prefer the 34, as I think it has cleaner surfaces. The toning is spectacular on the 44, and I think it got a grade bump because of it.

    Very nice.
  • PCcoinsPCcoins Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭
    Both look beautiful and scream originality! Love the album toning on the '44 and the '34 looks to be possible envelope toning or some type of old cardboard album or holder toning? image

    I like em both... Yet I'm always partial to the 1934-P's as it's the first Philly struck after a 13 year absence.

    Thank you all for the kind words. It's much appreciated. To answer some questions all in one fell swoop that were posed during this thread here I go:

    No registry set to view. I'm not sure I'll go that route. I may develop a website. My brilliant son is supposed to hook me up with this but I'm not holding my breath. I've been waiting 20 years for him to take out the trash on garbage night without being asked.

    The 1934P was in a ratty old scratched holder and the seller knew I would be turned off by it as I'm OCD about these type of things. So he had it re-holdered quickly for me before I ever saw the coin in hand. It is now on the way to NGC for it's first star review. No biggie either way.

    As far as how the 34 aquired it's toning? I'd like to think that the coin spent a lot of time lodged in Marilyn Monroes cleveage while wearing a red velvet dress, but that's just meimage.........I honestly don't know. My best guess is envelop toning.

    The 1944 was bought from Legend. They actually outbid me on this coin at a Heritage auction and the coin showed up on their site. I bit the bullet and bought it from them via e-mail. Less then an hour later George e-mailed me and asked if I would stand aside and accept a check instead. They had another customer for it and he wanted to offer me a higher amount. I thought this was very honorable. I needed the coin for my set so I declined.

    I think Todd (blu62vette) did a fantastic job capturing the likeness of the 1934P. Coins with that magnitude of color are tough to nail both the color and luster. This coin is very lusty as wellimage

    Thank you all for allowing me to share. MJ
