My local shop sells generic Walkers for about $9 each but you have to pay CA sales tax on top of that. They sometimes have better dates worth the price (or more!) but in general their coins are comparable to the VF to AU examples you purchased. So, you definitely overpaid in today's market but not enough to be concerned.

Buying a mixed lot online sounds like a viable way to fill some holes at a good price. With flat rate shipping your per-coin price gets less the more you buy.....

I agree with those that indicated $7 was plenty to pay for these.

My local coin shop sells them for $13.50 per dollar. I bought a lot of those walkers from them, some in better shape then yours, some is worse.

Yea I've never seen the $7 price or even a $10 price so I would say you have done well. In your defense if you like them don't worry about what people say; when they buy it for you then they have a say. I will say you asked for their opinions including mine.

If you are buying 1943 Liberty Walkers then $10 is an OK deal if they are in VF or maybe even EF condition I think. If you are buying 1920-D Walker that is in EF condition you will pay a lot more. I see Red Book value of $925 but you what guides say is open to what people are willing to pay now. I have only lower 1920's and valuable teens to fill my Liberty Walker collection. I paid $80 for an EF 1929-D recently. I got a 38-D for $47 but it is in fair condition. I got 1929-S for $60. I feel much more comfortable buying the rare more expensive coins from a dealer I know. If he says it is EF it is EF. Not like ebay where you are not quite sure and dealers will not actually put true grade on many of the coins. The beat around the bush and lie about condition or are just ignorant.
