If BU, I wouldn't go any higher than 61. On the obverse the breastplate, left forearm and left thigh appear flat. I see the same flatness on the reverse left leg of the eagle. On MS63 coins I see feather definition in this area. Double-check these areas for undisturbed mint luster. If none is present, it would probably only be AU.

I think it just might be the picture and the lustre hiding some of the detail from the camera but I'm going to say this coin is at least MS-62. Nice looking Walker.

Yep, I've seen many PCGS and NGC MS62's and a few MS63's with more wear and less luster than that. I agree with "ichy" at least MS62.

I may be wrong but is that not wear on the leg brest and the leg of the eagle. I would give this EF to AU grade. Help me maybe it's not wear.
