paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 9:24 pm Won this lot of 3 Walking Liberty half dollars for a bid of $99. The 1943 and 1947 are in PCGS rattler holders and the 1945 is in an NGC soap bar. The 1947 is a bit of a tougher date, but only slightly. These are the seller's pics -- think I did okay at the price, or did I overpay? His pictures are not that great, the obverse ones were half the size of the reverse and I had to scale them up to the same size. Thanks for any comments/insight. edit: the obverse of the 1947 was MIA Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

jdbarrick Valued Member United States 350 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 12:32 am You did well. The 43 is well struck. I always look at her left hand as this is often a weakly struck point on most specimens. Just note the difference between the 43 and 45; both graded the same. Nice pick ups!

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 7:50 pm I'll take photos once they show up & see how they actually look. Nice to finally "score", been on a dry streak for awhile.
