This is not exactly a Walker but it is the slickest coin I've found while sorting rolls:
Though quite obviously this did not get slick during normal circulation but rather was someone's crazy experiment in simulating advanced circulation.

You have all my Walkers beat!
But, I've got a few Buff's that may be slightly more worn. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

You are very lucky! I've gotten coppers cents with no dates they were so worn before.
Country, your walker is slicker than any of mine. I did just buy this nice example of an '18 this afternoon though.

I don't have any walkers that are quite that slick, although I've got some that are uglier.
Best I can do is a super-slick liberty head nickel-

Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

Now that's what I call a slick nickel. Slickeast where's yours.
Any other candidates for the slickest coin on RealCent? |

check this out. I saw it when I was checking ebay. How can the obv look so bad while the rev looks perfect other than some wear on what should be the high points?

| slickeast, the cheapest and easiest way is to get a cheap scanner. That's what I use. I've got a pretty messed up nickel. I'll post pictures tomorrow. |

Read up on your camera's instruction manual. hint: go directly to the section which describes "macro" setting. |

Basically, "macro" means "short range" in photo-speak, so you always want to have that on if you're taking a picture of something less than a foot or so away from the lens.
Get as much light on the coin as you can, because the camera flash will just do screwy things to the photo at that range.
Digital photography is 19% lighting, 80% fighting with the autofocus, and 1% everything else! |
