 Marine.  No, that would not be a necessity to have a "full run" of Walkers. Now, should you get that coin if you have the money to do so? YES! Error coins like that are awesome in their own right, and do flesh out a collection. In other cases, like the 1955D D/D Lincoln Penny, many consider that error to be intrinsic to the set. Same for the 1922 no D. Regardless, some pics of your set to date would be AWESOME. |

@MarineCoins1976,
Yes the one error that seems to have a listing is the one you mentioned. A complete Walker set in MS would be a sight to see and I (and I'm sure many others) would love to see what coins you do have. My sights are a little less lofty than yours, I am looking for XF or better examples and have been upgrading my set to fit this grade level.

muddler and smokerideron thank you so much for the advice and input. I think that I will buy it. muddler and Luvpennys would love to hear about your Walker sets especially the 21 21D and 21S and some of the earlier coins. These are going to cost a mint! Wow what a pun. It has taken me 10 years to get where I am now and probably another 10 years to finish. I still have not figured out how to put pictures and or the avatar description for this site. I guess I am not that competent on the computer. Maybe someone could help me by going step by step.

Does anyone understand the concept of quantitative easing and the relationship it has with the silver and gold bullion market. One would think that at the present silver and gold would be a lot higher. Any thoughts!

to the forum Devil Dog. A complete collection is typically one of each date and mint less proof only issues and error coins. Specialists of a particular series would want the proofs, errors and other major varieties if any. A complete set of Walkers is a sight to behold in any condition. You have a lofty goal and once achieved you will have quite an awesome set.  Ed ANA LM-3175 USMC 11/74 to 02/83 |

muddler-beautiful coins. I especially like the 16D obverse and the 1940 is gorgeous. Although not a key date or semi key the 40S is a tough one in higher grades. MS-64 and above-another tough date is the 19D and 19S. Does anyone collect half eagles say 1861 and below? The D and C are tough mintmarks to get and extremely high. My favorites are the Classic Heads from 1834-1838.

Anyone in the Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, and of course Texas area-the Amarillo Coin Club is planning on our annual coin show this year. Do not know the dates as of yet. Will keep you informed.

Gyrene-Ed-Semper Fi. Thank you for the warm welcome. USMC 5/1976-4/2003. We were probably at some of the same duty stations. The 70s and 80s were great years. What do you collect? Chuck

Nice coins muddler.
I agree 1919 s is a tougher date. Of course you have 21 and 21 d. Next group is 38 d, 16 s, and the 1919 s.

Gyrene7483,
Ed, I dropped over from the other forum as instructed, nice career! Mine went as follows
MCRD P.I. Oct 1962
Camp Lejeune/Viegas/
Cuba On the fence 1963
Ft Meade National Security Agency 63/64
Quantico Va Ramer Hall Hand To Hand Combat Instructor 64/65
Vietnam D Co 1-1... 65-66
Saint Albans Naval Hospital 6 months and out!
I did collect everything (Coins/Large Notes) at one point or another, but I have always had an attraction to Silver Dollars for some reason. Unfortunately some of my best "stuff" had to be sold (many years ago) but I still probably have 25 or so in the coin drawer! Take care, Semper Fi, and God bless you and yours...rcordell
