Afternoon everyone …..
As I write this post my girlfriends step dad is having heart surgery to fix a leaky valve that has gotten to the point of fix it or it will burst. So he was taken into surgery at 10:35 this morning. They said the surgery should take between 3-4 hours.
I’ll keep you posted as I get information.
I’m going through these last few boxes from my private security place. I have come across many raw (ungraded) coins. Some of them I have no memory of buying, but they are coins that I like so obviously I did.
So today I’m going to share one of them with you. It’s a 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint. There were just over forty two million of these struck, but there aren’t any where near that many that still look like this.
The coin has a very nice mint luster, it has great detail and very little wear. I’m going to say it’s between an MS62 and an MS63.
The melt value of the coin is about $9, but in this condition the coin you see is worth at least 5X that. Ungraded versions of this coin have completed sales between $48 to $60.
The post it in the box listed me paying $18 for it at a coin show in New York in 2018. So in the five years that I’ve owned it, the coin has 3X its value. Can’t say that for the spot price.
Here is the coin
I was at the hospital today to have my pacemaker checked. They were happy to see me, everything's fine. And then I made myself even happier and bought a silver coin.

Damn, hope everything checked out okay.
