$50.00! Wow! You drive a hard bargain!!

I'm just thinking about the tickets I could sell to the hullabaloo that would ensue, if someone tried to grade this a G4 to my face! C'mon, now!

(I know what you're sayin' though. Yes! Grey sheet starts at lofty levels for this coin even in the most basic grades!)

Spotted in China, a very imaginative translation indeed!

Nice coin! I've been thinking about buying a few walkers myself I wonder how hard it would be to put together a nice AU set?

The money it would cost would be huge up until after 1921 or so. That "first page" of the Walker albums is almost always made from well worn specimens in collections you see.

My quest is to just have full rims and dates and even that has been costly.

And Matt, I for 56.00 I think the word stole better suits the condition.😂

So that you can sleep at night without a guilty conscience, go ahead and send me this one and I will make sure you do not have to be reminded of the incident again. Honest...no problem! What are friends for?

My Hornet on the way yet?

Well, ya got the 1915 already, so that's a start. Wasn't the mint mark on the edge that year?

I'm gonna grow a pair and market this as a VF35 for $100! Keys. Go. Up! (Just sold a dealer a 1915 Barber (as nature intended) at wholesale plus 20%!) Of course I will be wearing a leather tuxedo and crocodile boots to the show. Misdirection is everything! What better conversation starter than an overgraded coin? What I don't like is a split designation: "AU/Unc", "VF/XF" With 6 levels to chose from, it's one or the other!!!
