I got a 1928-P in AU condition for $300. If I could have gotten one in MS for 400 I might have done it. The more rare coins in really great condition probably have a better chance of appreciating in your lifetime. That being said we all have budgets. If I can get most coins in AU condition I will take it.

I have a Walker collection. When you get to coins before 1920 they sure do tend to get smooth. I have a 1921-d in VG condition. All my coins before 1921 are smooth and the best I could do was just good or VG condition without spending a fortune. Not only are they expensive, but they are hard to get except online. I find that in certain coins you either get just good or you get coins that have spent 100 years in a collection, and cost an arm and a leg. I would be very happy to get some old Walkers in EF condition but they are either not available or are just too expensive. "I may have spent a million dollars, but I never said I was a millionaire"......Howling Wolf. I think I need more resources than coin shows, coin dealers and the internet. Don't coin lovers just get together and swap coins? Do most coin clubs have non-formal ways of exchanging coins and making deals? I live in Tampa and I am thinking about the Tampa coin club. Buying online just does not appeal to me that much, but I know that it does bring buyers and sellers together from all over. I used to go to auctions that were in person and online and I hated them because they were so slow.

Ralph:
That's pretty much the range of conditions I have in my (now) complete set! Well done. I will post mine up when I get some time to take the photos and resize them for CCF.

Terry, you are so right about early Walkers. Those things (before about 1928) seem to be either in G or at most VG condition or MS+. very little to be found in F, VF, or EF. I assume this is because (1) those were "workhorse" coins in that they circulated widely, and (2) the high relief and lack of empty field space just begged for wear. I am sure other people who know more about this series will chime in. Now that my Peace collection is done, I have a medium-term plan to complete my Walker circulated set (I've got everything after 1935) and my long term plan is to do a complete set of MS Peace dollars. My LONG LONG term plan is to complete my 19th century type set. I have the Littleton album which has lots more "holes" than the 7070 (mostly because the 7070 is simply not available). BTW does anybody have any idea when the Dansco 7070 will be back in print? |

I need to get a camera to upload my collection. My 1928 is in AU condition. However, all the coins that are showed here look good. I think the Peace dollar is undervalued. You go from the Morgans to the Peace dollars to nothing. I don't consider all the coins since the Peace Silver dollar to be real. The recent ones are just horrible. |
