jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 7:10 pm Not even close to the outstanding quality of some of the coins posted in this thread but thought I would share a bit of history. I was an odd young kid and around 1965 (I was 10 years old) I spent all my spare time mowing peoples lawns in the neighborhood at $1 a mow if they provided the mower or $1.50 if I had to drag mine over. My father (bless his soul, great mentor that he was) told me that now that the government was taking the silver out of coins, the older coins were going to be worth more than face value so I took all my earning every week down to the local bank and bought rolls of half dollars and hunted though them for Walking Liberty halves, which were still in circulation back then. These three Whitman albums were put together from circulation using my yardwork money and any other money I could come up with. Not bad for a 10 year old kid. Report this Post to the Staff

You have a lovely collection of Walkers and how you collected them is most admirable! Great for a 10 year old or even a master collector! Report this Post to the Staff
