Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 09/16/2010 8:01 pm Found this coin in the assorted Walker bin at my local shop. It probably only grades G-6 or so, but the rims are full and color and surfaces look original. The little rim nick on the obverse is acceptable at this grade level IMO. I've never seen this date before in the bargain bin. I thought it was well-worth the $8 "junk silver" price. As an aside, there were a couple dozen VF to EF Walkers from the 1930's in the bin that had been unfortunately shined up. Someone apparently cashed in their hoard to take advantage of the high silver price and foolishly decided to give 'em a nice hard polish before bringing them in. What a shame; the higher-grade coins probably looked really nice before they were ruined. Report this Post to the Staff
