Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 09/22/2007 2:17 pm I think that this is a pretty decent coin for an AG example. However, I was at a coinshow recently and saw 2 that were at least G-4, probably G-6, (I grade walkers conservatively), and were $90 and $110. I think that you can do better for $100. Personally, I wouldn't go over $75 for that coin. Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff
Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 09/22/2007 4:28 pm I know it's a higher priced coin, I just didn't know if he decided to start to save his money so that he can find a problems free coin in a higher grade(mainly VG, but I would guess if that depends on how much he saved or even if he did save).

justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 10:07 am Well, I decided to buy it. I don't see too many of them and this was in my acceptable price range. I am satisfied with it. Could I have found a better coin or a better deal? Sure. I like it though. The more I look at it the less I notice the rim damage. I think I was hung up on the rim when I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy it. It is a key date so there is nothing stopping me from buying another one in the future to get a higher grade example! Thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 11:08 am Good going there justjimrob. People may say to much or OK but it's your money, your happiness that is important. As to being able to find better ones cheaper. All my life I've noticed that if I buy something for $1 and it is worth $1,000, there are always people that will say, I could have got that for $0.50. Or my Uncle sells them all the time for $0.25 Just human nature. What you now have is a coin of very low mintage and remember, with 300,000,000 people in the USA alone, it doesn't take to many of those being collectors to make your coin rare. If coin collecting continues to boom at the present rate, that coin will really be a cherished item in your collection. Report this Post to the Staff

I get 40's walkers for 3.50 - 4 bucks at the coin shop. that is just because the coins you are buying isn't key date coins, they are just regular mintage coins that are plentiful on the market. The only thing that can make a average dated coin worth more is condition, if most of that certain date is MS-63 and you find one that is MS-67 and there has only been 1 graded MS-67 by the top TPG's then that coin would be priced on condition and not the date, as with the coin in question there weren't allot of them minted in the first place and no one really knows how many are actually around left for collectors so in just about any grade that key date coin will be worth more than 50 average dated coins of the same type Edited by Bryan1315 09/24/2007 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 12:55 pm I like the look of that coin. A key date is always a key date! Report this Post to the Staff
