Who cares about the grade? It's gorgeous. But, since you asked, AU55-58.

Very nice! Appears AU-58 to my eyes, from the pics. This is a coin one would like to have in hand to give a final grade. Very nicely struck.

Strong AU, probably AU-58. It wouldn't surprise me if it went in the MS range, but I am a little weak on grading toned coins. Nice piece!

Very tough to grade from the toning and the pics, not that the pics are bad. Coins are always easier to grade in hand. Anyway, I grade the coin AU58, but is a possible slider at MS60. I only say possible because the breast feathers look wear free, but this could be the light obscuring some details.

Man, tough to grade. Very nice strike with the hand detail, but given the small amount of wear on the high points, I'd have to agree on the AU-58

Well even I can tell that's a lower MS!

But you must seperate the wear color from tone color, and the only way to properly grade this coin is in hand.

my first thought was AU-58, but that was before taking into consideration this is an odd year Walker. the odd years used the even year dies with new dates. what looks like wear on the coin is really wear on the die, or so I've been told. with that in mind, i'd say this is at minimum an MS-60, but no more than MS-63.
after another hard look, it looks like the toning is most likely nicotine buildup - notice that the "toning" has been "cleaned" off the large open areas of the coin...
