1st Half Dollar, Walking Liberty 1943, Simplex w/SP24

[Richard Guy]

After hundreds of pull-tabs and other hooey since January, a half dollar! It rang up 94 with iron grunts, about 10 inches down. At first I thought it was a soda can since it was so shiny. A very happy moment

Great find man! My first silver ever was a 1943 Walker. Nothing like seeing that big silver disk popping out of the ground!

I think back to the days when these coins were in everyday pocket change. I would collect the best one and throw back into circulation the coin of lesser quality. Had I only known then what silver would be going for today--or when it was in the 40s.......
