3 Walking Liberty Half Dollars. 1942-S 1943-S 1944 UNTOUCHED FOR 60 YEARS! Anyone on Ebay can sell you a circulated Walking Liberty Half Dollar. This one has a special story!
In 1925 my great grandfather opened a grocery store. In 1929, he experienced the great depression. Fearful of placing money in the banking system he began to turn the money he made into coins. He saved Morgan Dollars and Walking Liberty Half Dollars. He would place the coins in metal boxes and hide them in his home.
After his death he passed the business down to my grandfather who throughout the years would discover these hidden coin boxes in the store from time to time. In 1974, it was believed that the last of the hidden coins were found.
My father had taken over the business in 1980 and in January of 2008 he sold it. All of the old antique furnishings were removed and sold. After removing a display cases which had been in place since the business opened, 4 more metal boxes of coins from the depression and World War II era were discovered. This coin is part of that last discovery.
These coins have been untouched since WWII! They were in circulation for a short time. These coins can be professionally graded, however, I do not want to incur the expense. I believe that these coins are AU+, but I am not a professional coin grader. If they were to be "slabbed" they would "probably" be classified as an "MS coins" and be worth much more than its current sale price.
A DELIVERY CONFIRMATION CHARGE OF $1.27 WILL BE ADDED TO ALL INVOICES. IN ADDITION I WILL ADD .73 CENTS TO PLACE THE COIN IN A PROTECTIVE COIN HOLDER ENCASED WITH BUBBLE WRAP. .24 CENTS WILL BE ADDED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL COIN. I will remove all or some upon request. I place it on because people often pay the invoice before I am able to send an invoice and ask them if they would like it. You will receive a tracking number with a Delivery Confirmation. Don't be foolish for a $1.27. The Postal Service will handle this package with better care if you make them track it. These are quality coins and a few pennies more to place them in protective packaging is well worth it, but OPTIONAL!
I also offer Insurance, but for that you have to ask before you pay the invoice!
My Shipping & Handling is only $2.99 cents. This covers the cost of packaging your item and bringing it to the Post Office. I do combine shipping! First $2.99 Second FREE, additional .99 cents each.
Send these coins back if you don't like it! I will refund the purchase price. LOOK at my feedback. No one who has purchased a coin from me has ever sent one back! You won't either!
ALL WINNING BIDS IN EXCESS OF $31.99 WILL RECEIVE (1) ADDITIONAL WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR MELT COIN FOR A TOTAL OF (4) COINS. THIS COIN IS NOT A QUALITY COIN, HOWEVER, ITS VALUE IS ITS SILVER CONTENT.
