Got $750 into my weekly 2 boxes, finding nothing but marked up halves, and expecting nothing more than the dreaded black and white beast. In a funk, I was opening rolls almost absentmindedly, when all of a sudden I noticed that the coin on the end of the roll I just opened looked different - a giant eagle. I stared at it a second, finally comprehending that I found a walking liberty half - my first ever - and an ender to boot! :hello2:

Unfortunately, I had already opened it, too late to take a picture of it. Nice looking 1943D. I just sat there and marveled at it for awhile, then got back to opening rolls. The very next roll I opened had another walker in the middle, this time a 1939S!

At this point, I get the bright idea to flip over the rest of the unopened rolls, and lo and behold, another ender! Got a picture of it this time! Alas, that was the last of the walkers, a 1942.

I did happen to find a '67 40% in the last few rolls, but by that time it was almost a non-event.

Good score! :icon_thumleft:

It may be a good thing you didn't notice the enders. Had you saw 2 Walker enders, you might have kinda been disappointed to find only 1 more. Not that 3 Walkers out of a box is ever a bad thing.

Congratulations. The walker reverse is my favority view showing as an ender in rolls of halfs.

Once you find your first one a dream Box of walkers will come soon.

I remember my dream box of walkers. About 20 rolls in the box had walker enders. Heart Almost Exploting.

Great Feeling. I just regret not keeping one of the rolls with a walker ender sealed just to keep the feeling during skunk times.

Congrats again in your first Walker

I've only found 2 Walkers so far, in two different boxes.

It sure is a thrill, isn't it?

Congrats!!!!!!

Great finds and great pics too! :icon_thumright:

I found a nice '39S myself in a box in Jan. It's a little better date coin with a mintage of just 2.5 m.

Congrats & good luck with the rest of your boxes this month.

:icon_thumleft: Congrats on getting your 1st WL. They are a beautiful coin for sure. You will savor that moment for a long time. Now you have broken the ice with them, you should get more in the future. Hopefully the near future.

Fantastic! It's interesting how such great finds tend to be enders.
