You are all probably going to shoot me.... This is the 1917 D (Obverse) that is on my wife's keychain. As soon as she saw this coin in a box of damaged coins that I have, she grabbed it  I guess it is kind of a pocket piece  I did not put the hole in it.   |

Rather see it being used like that than tossed into the melt bucket.

Love this thread! Thank you to those sharing pictures. I was torn with choosing Peace dollars (easier to collect) or Walking Liberties (my favorite design). One day I'll start collecting these but in the meantime I get to look at the ones shared here. |

I got my start with Walking Liberty half dollars at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. The turnstiles at many of the exhibits were designed to accept only half dollars, and for some reason a high Walker proportion was used by the money changers. I loaded up, but now don't remember which ones I brought home. Maybe one of these, saved from the turnstiles...    |

You know if you can see skirt lines of any LWH dollars minted before about 1923 you are doing pretty good. I know they are out there, but according to Red Book for a LWH to be in VF condition the coin must have "Skirt lines sharp, including leg areas. For a LWH to be in just Fine condition "All skirt lines must be evident, but worn in spots". For a LWH to be in EF condition "All skirt lines must be bold". I go to my LCS and I never see LWH's before 1923 in that condition. I see 1916's and 1921's but all are in barely good condition. If you can read the date and the mint mark you are doing good. |
