Walking Liberty Half Dollars to gain future premium?

I have a strong belief that walking liberty half dollars will gain a large premium similar to that of morgan and peace dollars. IMO they are a better design anyways. You also don't see an unlimited supply of uncirculated walkers like you do with all the MS+ dollars. Most of the half dollars are worn down to almost cull status. I think its probable that walkers will have this same large premium applied to them at some point in the future.

Does anyone agree with me?

I too love the Walking Liberty and it is a design for the ages. Odd however is that the coin in higher grades is absolutely beautiful, yet in the lowest grades is ugly at best. It kind of reminds of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's date looked fantastic in the light but was hideous looking in the shadows :o

Walkers, Mercs, and Standing Liberty quarters, in the higher grades already command a premium... and deservedly so. They don't make em like they used to :cry:

oh goodness me, I've seen $10 face rolls trade between 65 to 100 times face in the past year(or two)......GEM/BU's of course.

one danger, some guys try to pass off AU's as BU's....its not the MOST heinous of sin, but its sin. Their "out" can always be, "I thought they were BU's", which is only an issue if you want to slab them.

Not as bad looking as the standing liberty quarter in bad condition imo.
