A big old Lady Walked my way in the woods!

Damon64 · Mar 17, 2010

Went for a short hunt back to the woods with my brother this past Sunday morning and the first coin I dug was this big Walkin' Lady! Yes, a 1937 Walking Liberty Half, my first! I was pretty pumped about the big silver, especially for the first coin I hit right off the bat. The rest of the day we found some wheats and the now dreaded tax tokens. I think folks gave these things to the kids back in the day to use as play money or something since they are so plentiful.
Anyways, I washed the dirt off for better pics.

Really nice half! But, I gotta say, people on here say to NEVER clean a coin! LOL! ffd

tax tokens once the "grand experiment" of getting them used nationally by all the states failed (some but not all states tried them out -- they were wildly UNPOPULAR *)-- and once the programs ended they were basically worthless -- so why not give them to the kids to play with? as "play money"

nice big ole dirty lady.

An exiting first ! :icon_thumright:

I remember my 1st Walker like it was yesterday ! I think I thumb cleaned mine in the field as well ! A habit that you must and will break once you put thumb scratches on a Key date coin ! The more you want to see exactly what you have found the less you shoud touch it ! I learned this from this site and the hard way ! MaineRelic,

Awesome find! You must have some sacred ground down there or something. I wish the old silver would move through the ground a little farther north, lol.
