    1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollar

    Hi Everyone..

    Went out Sunday to a couple locations, we dug a handful of wheats and this nice 1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollar that was my first dig from the field.

    Happy Hunting
    Dave

    Nice looking coin for the age of it. I found a NO date Walker last year so it's nice to see an early one with a solid date. WD
