Spring time Walking Liberty Half

[treblehunter]

What a day, I must have put 200 miles on my CRV. I hunted along the Delaware River on the Pa. side, no luck. I drove home and took care of some things around the house when Vino text me some pix of silver he found when he got home, Two rosies, a merc, and two washingtons. Ha he is like a old coin magnet. He was cracking me up because he lost one of the rosies (probably in his pouch) Here are the pix he sent me




He was worried that I was going to get jealous (ha, I did) but I'm glad he found them and sent me the pix. So I figure I can't ride his shirttails forever ( although it might be a plan, ha lol) So I remembered that the sun was up later and knocking on doors is always better with the sun up and people would be home after 5:00. I got permission to do three different houses (cool) I ran to the oldest one for a half hour hunt and the fourth target in I popped this sweetheart out of her dirt nap.






There was a whole lot of coin licking going on and she's still a dirty girl!
Thanks for looking, HH

I can see it now. Found my first one a couple of wks ago, a42 also.

It is my second one I found, the other is a 1948. My favorite design in coins, they are really beautiful. This hobby has increased my interest in numismatics, they don't make them like this anymore.

The reverse of this coin is not as cool, the eagle reverse of the old Half is one tough looking eagle. Just my opinion.

Hey, you leave our Pa silver alone, Mister! Nice job on stealing the thunder from Vino, lol.

Somehow TH, I missed this post the first time around. I'm not a coin hunter but I have learned that any Walker you can read the date on is a real good silver find as I've dug some dateless ones while looking for CW relics. WTG, Q.
