This isn't the highest-graded Walker I have, but I think it's the prettiest. Thanks to James Sego for this one! image

    Really nice! I like the toning a lot too, and that is coming from someone who isn't a big fan of toned coins.

    When walkers are toned beautifully, they beat any other series hands down.

    That is a very nice 47. The term I've seen used is 'coruscating' luster - meaning a luster with some 'visual texture' to it.

    Very pretty half dollar on a date that is not as easy as you might think. Kudos.

    Nice coin.

    I have said it here before. I love Walkers and a Walker with color is a bonus.

    Very nice coin you have there. image

    A beautiful Walker, and the best Philly date from the '40's.image

    Delightful 1947. Looks like a MS-65.

    But the coloration is awesomely original.

    Tons of luster, and nice, subtle toning. A real winner! image
    Let's try not to get upset.

    Very nice coin... walkers are among my very favorite coins when very lustrous and delicately toned.

    So lusterous I had to put on shades to avoid retinal burns!
    Great Walker.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Incredible. I always imagined it to be a cloud, but the light blue hue on the obverse makes it appear that a wave is crashing into Lady Liberty's feet.

    I'm a big fan of that coin. Lustre bomb. What a GREAT series. MJ

    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......

    '47 Walkers are really cool. Here is a pic of mine. I had to sell about 6 weeks ago, but it was one of my favorites. The luster is just booming.
