oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 08:04 am Isn't it cool to have the only one on the registry? Albeit it is the lo-ball, a specialized collector coin. I have a couple of one pop varieity coins. No surprise that there is no value posted at PCGS...priceless? Although I cannot see the date, it has to be a different story in hand. Congrats!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 5:03 pm Many Thanks for all the kind words about this coin ... the first ever PCGS PO01 Walker. Quote: I have a question. How can they tell its a 1918s? This question has been posed in various forms by several folks ... allow me to address ... In order for a TPG to certify a well worn coin (any coin) ... there are five check boxes that need to be satisfied: The coin needs to be uniquely identifiable as to type, date and mint mark. In addition ... the coin needs to be free of damage and have original (un-molested) surfaces. This is obviously a San Francisco mint Walker. In hand ... holding the coin at just the right angle to a light ... one can make out the very top remnants of the '18' in the date. My digital photography skills are not sufficient to make the date remnant apparent. Also ... the coin is undamaged with original circulated surfaces. Hence ... 1918-S Walker. BTW ... I purchased this coin for $8.50 on the Bay ... seller advertised as an 'un-dated' Walker ... I took a chance on it with 14-day return. In hand I knew this was at least FR02. That decision has worked out for me. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
