Absolutely stunning selection of walkers, you must be proud of them and rightly so. Love the series and design and humbly collect them in XF to AU.

That's a nice walker short set especially the 33S and I see the 21d graded a 64 which makes it quite a pricey piece

Fantastic. However, if those were mine, they would all go in an Album.

Wow ... lovely indeed.  I have plenty of worn out Walkers (lowballs) ... and your new acquisitions are a stunning reason to pursue these in high MS state. Looking forward to you sharing the PCGS Wizards grades. David |

Glad you liked them, I received one upgrade - the 33-S went from MS 66 to 66+.
I have well over thirty more at PCGS - the lesser priced coins. 95+% are MS 66. I believe there is one 64 and two 65's in the upcoming group.

How long did it take you to collect this set of coins? I imagine you have been improving your set for a period of time. Most collectors don't start off with coins like that which really are superb. Undoubtedly you spent thousands on these coins. I think you made a good investment plus these coins are works of art even if you had no idea of appreciation. I know "Coins" magazine was recommending just such a collection of very high grade Walkers. You hit the jackpot with these coins. Unlike many other beautiful coins all the LWH dollars are obtainable. I think the fact the US mint decided to put the Walker image on the silver eagle has given this coin a boost. You are obviously The Master when it comes to the LWH. Which was the hardest coin to get in high grade. I know you don't find these coins at the LCS. The LWH dollars was the first set I ever completed. Just completing high grade set like this is a might accomplishment which unfortunately in this day and age requires a lot of cash, but not as much as some might think compared to gold coins of all but one set.
Do you have a 1921-S in MS64-66? You could put this set upon completion into the vault and I bet you won't be sorry.

It seems in the 1940's the mint may have gone crazy producing huge numbers of coins like 53 million in 1943. However, there are at least 19 example where less than 2 million coins were produced for a particular year. If you look at just the five top dates there are only five that cost more than $100 in fine condition which are the 16-s, 17-S obverse, 1921,21-D and 21-s. I just can't find good example on ebay. I guess I must go to HA to find these but |
