Anything appear strange to you? The face, collar and right hand for instance? Thanks, Loyal   |

I don't see anything that screams fake to me.  This was a very high mintage coin, the second highest mintage year for the series. I would think that fakes wouldn't be worth the effort to make. I am no expert with walking liberty halfs, but I would think it is genuine. |

I'm no expert either, but it looks like a fine coin to me. I have aproximately 70 Walking Liberty half dollars, and this one looks as good as any of mine. High AU if not MS. nice coin!  |

That looks real to me too and I've bought and sold hundreds the last few months.
I wouldn't expect to see high-grade counterfeits for this common date.
Nice coin, btw. I'll say AU55-58 based on the pics.

Thanks for you comments guys. Boy, every time I buy something on ebay I start thinking fake. You are absolutely correct on the high mintage figures, was wondering why it was selling for less than what I thought it would. I really like the design of these half dollars. |

I have quite a few 1942 Walker half dollars, because 1942 is my birth year and I buy each 1942 coin I run across (that I can afford). Comparing your coin to several of mine, I see nothing that suggests it is a fake. |

HI Gary,
I really like the looks of these coins and can see why you buy them. This particular coin was my first Walker.
After winning the bid I started comparing mine to some others. I noticed the two bottom fingers looked wider than others. Possibly a little bit of wear. Another thing I noticed was that the collar of the dress looked more squarish than other pics I was looking at. Anyway, I received the coin and it looks great. Worried over nothing. Thanks for your reply.

Now if you were trying to buy 1916.1938-D I would make sure they are graded by a TPG 1940-46 all mm are common  |

Here is a 1941 that is close in condition, for comparison.   |

Sweet! Well yours has the fat two fingers and the square collar too. I swear I saw some pics on ebay that had a different collar. Do you know if they changed the design of the robe at one time? Or perhaps they were worn, or even worse fake! Thanks for the pic. |
