First Walking Liberty

[garyf]

This won't win me the find of the month award, but it is my first Walking Liberty half-dollar, a 1941. It was only 3 or 4 inches deep near an old sports field.

The bad news is that I scratched the back of it, so now I'll have to go find another one.

To bad about the scratch, but a good find just the same! Congradulations.

I agree with Nick, Gary. Scratch or no scratch that is one pretty coin. I am trying to find my first. Thanks for posting.

Very nice find, Gary. Sure is exciting to see Big Silver come out of the ground.

Congrats,

Great find. I remember my first and only 1936 SLH, I was surely stoked.

HH and Good Luck

I think for every one you scratch, you have to find three more!! Good Luck and by the way...nice Walker!!

That is why you should dig a huge hole when you get a "Half" dollar reading. Great find! I bet there are more there!

Scratch, or no scratch, that's a very cool find.

Oh, gosh, forget the scratch! I know you're sad you did it, but look at all the other scratches and wearings that OTHERS did! WOW, you got a keeper! Congrats!!! - Noodle

And just think... it could have stayed hidden under all the debris for soooooo much longer. You did good.

Congratulations on your first Walker!

It seems like a lot of them get scratched, because of their size. I wish I could find one!


Nice coin!
