walker and rosie day

[alb1]

The joy of finding a walker was missing today as I could hear the huge scratch I managed to put into it. I'm so ashamed of ruining this coin. I originally thought I had uncovered the edge of an aluminum can. WRONG! It was silver at 9-10 inches. The rosie was my third at a different local school. FTY 43, 44. HH

She's beautiful in my eyes. Hey, I'm 63. I have leaks, scratches, blemishes and excess baggage but my wife still finds me attractive!

don't be too hard on yourself, i have put major scratches on a 1923-S Peace dollar and a 1936-S Walking Liberty half dollar . Nice finds !

Congrats on the Walker and Rosie

Sweet finds, your scratch just gives her character. I gouged a 1922 D Peace Dollar thinking I was digging a can. I still love that find.

The only way that a coin is "ruined" is if the new owner just found it to be sold. A trophy is a trophy is a trophy!

You have a nice one! WTG!

I feel your pain buddy on scratching that walker, one of many yet on my list to find. Last February I dug the 1915 $5 gold Indian shown on my avatar and put dandy shiny scuffs on both sides of it, knocking many $ off its value.

Scratch or not, that is a awesome find. No worries on that. Tops in my book.

Yep! My first Silver dollar was a 1908 Barber that I made into a lovely scarface. Still one of my favorite finds.

Congrats on the silver. I have scratched them too. I consider it a "beauty mark".

Very well done sir, congrats.

Walkers are really pretty finds, with or without a scratch, it is still a pretty find.

Congratulations on the big silver!

Ahhhh...I miss those Walker days....I used to find at least 2 every year and havent found one in a couple years.

Great finds!

I'd rather scratch a walker then to not find a walker and I've yet to find one, Sweet find any day, Congrats!!
