So I casually asked my local coin dealer if he had any nice walkers in XF-AU or above.
He said "what dates? later ones?"
I said "No, better dates like the 33-S or earlier ones"
He replied "Alright, let me go start up the coin making machine out back"

I would be interested in utilizing this "coin making machine" as well.......  ....I think a 1908 S V.D.B. Lincoln would be a good seller !......   Edited by eaglefoot

All he has to do is call his contact in China to fill your order.

ShadowCreator: "No, better dates like the 33-S or earlier ones" You might not be so quick to ask that question in a big established coin dealer that actually has VF-to-MS early Walkers. One of my local dealers has a 1917-D (Obv.) NGC MS-63 and a 1921-S PCGS EF-40 in their case. This is the same dealer who wants me to buy their 1893-S Morgan. (that's not exactly a coin you buy on 'impulse'! ) (I can get it for a nice amount under Greysheet bid if I pay cash!  ) Edited by DNA

Hey coop, those fantasy coin pictures are awesome! I've been wanting a 1905-1920 Morgan Set in a faux Dansco. The 1906-D, 1906-S and 1909-O and would be logical choices for the "keys".... Edited by DNA

I have one of those! And a few other rare coins. Nice pics! Is it just me, or is the light source wrong for the '5' on the Half Dollar?  |

jbuck: It could be. The 5 was from another coin. None minted with that date that year. This is an interesting fantasy coin:  Edited by coop

As an aside, are there any known examples of a 1944 cent on a steel planchet?

Good question, I have heard of a copper 1943 cent but don't think I have ever heard of a steel 1944 cent from anyone, but of course I don't follow the series all that tightly because it just doesn't interest me in the least (all I cared about was the ones needed to fill the holes in my 7070 album) |

Seems like there were about the same number as the 1943 copper ones. But they usually range in the 25% value of the 1943 copper. Just not as much in demand.
