I am considering this one as another upgrade to the VG8 that holds the spot now. I'm going to go with a weak obverse strike for the rays, head, left leg gown lines worn so low. Sandals are nice. If I can get a 20 out of this one I'm gonna pull the trigger on it. I am at 25.   Not my photos. |

they did have issues with strike in the earlier walkers, however with the amount of wear on the coin, its hard to say how much would be attributed to wear/strike on this one.
the obv looks low end VF20 and the reverse VF25 so I can see your dilemma. obverses tend to override reverse in most series so I'm at VF20

Agree. Strong VF20. Piece does have character!

Im leaning more towards VF-25 on this one, but its close. If it was submitted to a TPG it might be a 50/50 to whether it gets a 20 or 25. |

With @panzaldi on this one. Obverse holds this one back.

Based on the consensus, I pulled the trigger. It came Wed. Here's what I got.   |

Dang...to me it appears to have been cleaned. the entire coin appears to be that gun-metal gray with only some light grime in the deepest recesses. this is not correct for a VF20 coin. their initial photos were a little deceiving. in fact, when comparing the initial photos to the in-hand photos it may have been cleaned after those photos were taken prior to sending it to you.
depending on how much you paid, I would consider returning it if they have a return policy unless you like the coin and you are ok with a details coin.
BTW - nice photos
