Still for sale. Thought this would have been long gone by now.

@Mike I noticed the same thing on my mercury dime, but I don’t know what effects it has on the value.

I was looking at my Walking Liberty and it is an error strike, the coin is offset just enough that the reed edge is a third to a half higher on one side. I was wondering why the plastic encasement was not closed tightly and upon further inspection discovered the thicker edge. Would anyone think this would increase the value as a defect or error?
Thanks

In reply to Mammoth.

Mammoth- …
And all the others on this site. I too have enjoyed memory lane. I know I am not as aged as some of you, but having older brothers gave me the perspective past my own age. I grew up older to begin with.
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

To those who shared their recollections of sifting through pocket change for ‘gems,’ thank you for the memories. My brother-in-law passed away early this year; he once showed me his near-complete Mercury Dime collection in an old cloth-bound coin book. Billy told me he would mow lawns for $5.00 a pop, and then ride his bicycle down to the bank to buy a roll of silver dimes to excitedly pick through.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

the mint sent the tracking number with the ship notice but when I hit it I’m led to UPS with no info. I plug the number into USPS tracking site and no info. How are you guys tracking the Walker shipping?

UNDER-WHELMED!
I got the new half dollar this afternoon to see a much smaller coin than I expected. In fact, looking at the new 1/2 oz coin, it is just about the size of the presidential dollars. Nevertheless, it is beautifully struck and details are fine. Just think what it would have looked like if they made it in an enhanced-uncirculated finish! That pretty much finished my 2016 collection and I am looking towards the 2017 offerings from the mint. Everyone have a Blessed Thanksgiving.. now, on to Christmas! Loby WA2AXZ@arrl.net

Received my 2016 half today. On inspection the Reverse of the coin had like a stain? soap spot? covering part of the eagle and running into the field by the eagle’s head. Like a cloud. Sent the coin back and notified the mint. Hope all goes well and I a still able to get the coin.
