First Walking Liberty

Just scratched another off of my "to find list". Hunted an old park where many carnivals were held in the past. An old friend told me where the beer tent used to be set up so I spent a couple of hours carefully hunting the area. Scored this 1944 Walking Liberty Half along with about $2.00 in clad.

Nice. Very good shape. I have yet to find one of them. I did find an 1864 half-dollar but, not a walker.
 
Super coin, have never found one myself, I've only found a few Franklins.
 
That is a nice one. I have never found one of those yet .
 
very nice, congratulations
 
I agree with Steve those are a beautiful coin. Congrats on the find, I bet you were thrilled.

Nice coin, is it silver or is it Nickel or half ? being a Limey means i dont know :D Is the Quarter Dollar your biggest coin in circulation today ?
 
Nuke em,
US coins Pre 1965 Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars were 90% silver.
1965 to 1970 Halves and Dollars were 40% silver the others became copper clad with a copper/nickel alloy.
1971 to present all were clad except the dollar which became some other alloy starting with the Susan B Anthony coin which is cupro nickel (91% copper) and the new golden dollar coins which are again a different alloy I think copper clad with a manganese/copper alloy.

The only currently minted US coin worth the weight of the metal it is coined with is the nickel.

Wow! that is a sweet walker! That coin is still on my list to find. I hope it is this year.
 
Nice! That's a good pic and it is in better condition than most of the ones I see posted on Findmall forums. I'm still looking for my first one.
