1944 Walking Liberty

with the grade.

While this coin technically grades on the high end of the circulated scale, I think that the eye appeal is poor. Even if you tried to clean it (which I don't recommend), I don't think the unsightly black spots would come off (they look like tar).

Very attractive AU Walking Liberty half dollars are abundantly available for under $30. I would not buy this coin, even at melt value.

Welcome, Fiream.

If you're just getting into coin collecting, I hope you enjoy the hobby for many years.

I've been collecting coins for about 36 years. One thing I've learned to always ask myself when considering any coin purchase is; will I still enjoy looking at this coin years from now? If the answer isn't "absolutely," I move on and look for something nicer.

If you're paying near melt value for your coins, and you just want decent looking silver discs, then these may remain satisfactory to you in the future. If not, I would recommend putting more forethought into your acquisitions.

You have plenty of time.

Thanks everyone! I have amassed this collection over the years. Most of these I've found while working in retail or they were given to me over the years. I really need to weed out the collection...

Fiream , That's a nice little cache of coins you have but the first thing I see that should be addressed is your way of storing them . The coins need to be holdered , and any notes should be put into plastic currency sleeves . This protects them from getting hits, scratches and dirty . Have fun collecting !
