Price is right around retail. Can't see from the photos if PCGS got the grade spot on, but I would expect you didn't do badly.

The walking liberty is the most beautiful coin on both sides that there is. Love it.

Take a look at the completed listings for this date/grade. That should give you a good idea.
If the coin is as lusterous as the GSC images suggest, that is a very nice 64 and worth $70.

At $71, I would be happy. The fact that is a Walker, with the fabulous design that it has is icing on the cake. Such a coin in such a condition is it's own deal closer.

The photo does make the coin appear to have fabulous luster. That could mean the coin is premium quality for the assigned grade, making it a pretty good buy. If however the photo is "hyped" to improve the appearance (something Great Southern Coins has been suspected of doing) it might not be as attractive in-hand. Therefore, not such a great deal.
The 1943 is a very common date, readily available in MS-64 and better, both raw and certified. It usually is well-struck and lustrous and you can probably choose from dozens at a major coin show. I'm confident your coin is a nice one, just not necessarily a superior example.

I could tell better if you send it to me for a closer inspection.  What, you'ld want me to return it? That is a really nice coin. You did OK. As noted nothing rare but in that condition, really nice. |

Believe it or not the luster in that picture is on the coin in hand. I just used there picture because I didn't want to take another one. I think I might start a 1943 Set now

That sounds like a great date set. A steel cent, a silver war nickle and a Mercury dime. |
