Walkers in the 40's are so common in uncirculated condition that cleaning just can't compare to the real deal. Yours look good!

If that's what they look like in hand, you're good. Plus, PP protection if you need to return them

Does wiping a coin off with a dry cotton rag count as value diminishing cleaning.

If so then you'd just auction your coin as you found it exactly no rubs with anything even if gentle and dry.
Rest in Peace

I would not recommend wiping coins with any dry cloth . If you want, give them an Acetone soak ,this will not hurt the coins ,but will remove any contaminants on the coins .

None of the coins in the photos look cleaned. They appear to be AU/Unc.

They look great to me. They are probably a combination of very high AU "sliders" and uncirculated in the 63-64 range.

The luster on these coins is very nice.

Usually completely lost during a cleaning process.

I just bought two that were advertised "BU", although had to cherry pick from the other AU coins. You pics look like the ones I bought, I paid $32 total for a 1942 and 1944

Looking good even UNC Walkers have flat looking spot on the leg, breast and head especially in pictures -- nice pics.

AU/UNC not cleaned.

If they were MS60 (UNC) or above it was a fair price for 41s through 45s generally speaking depending upon the Mint.

Break even or below on AU50 - again depending upon the Mint.

Walkers are beautiful coins and always nice to have anyways.
