Cool picture from the 1950's. Most of the BU coins pictured here are probably well worn "junk silver" at this point  Edited by fenton

Picture wasn't showing before but I see it now.
I wish I had a cup that floweth over like that one.

Those Walkers are the icing on the cake. I wish we had active currency like that today... there's just something about holding a beautiful silver coin.

The Romans used to buy their coins in things like that!
The nearest they came to Walkers were the Syrian tetradrachms.
Both had standing eagles, the tetradrachms had a bit more silver, but 2/3 rds. the diameter, and triple the thickness.

If you tried to tell people what the coins there would be worth some day at the time this was taken.. I bet they would have laughed in your face.

That's really cool! I think many of us here could recreate such a photo. Who wants to go first?
