Those pics of the reverse aren't good, I'm posting a better one. There is a scuff on the holder at the bottom left leg, makes that one look weak.

One reverse pic seems to show nice feathers, so I'll assume that's the correct one. MS-64?

that picture is better. the chest feathers show nicely but the right leg detail still looks a little weak.
can you show a similar shot of the obverse? looks like the original photos were kind of washed out.
will reassess with a clearer obverse pic.

Seems to be weaker strike on the obverse than the reverse, because
there are slightly flat areas on Liberty's cap left hand and left leg.
No flat areas on the reverse. Feather detail on eagle's breast feathers seems to confirm, and all of the feather detail is there.
Because of this, this coin should have an MS grade.
Pictures are a bit weak to be able give it an accurate MS grade, when looking for fine scratches and tiny nicks, but I will make a grading attempt anyway:
MS62, but may be higher.
Good mint luster.
I just love Walkers. The best looking examples are sharply struck on both sides, in high MS grades.

my favorite series! this is more representative, looks like a decent strike. luster is what caught my eye. the holder has slight scuffs, it looks pretty old.  |

Tending toward a 63 (or 62?) based on the right obverse field (partial fingerprint plus nicks) and scuffs in the leading hip.

MS-63 or so, hard to grade from these pics.

I have to be honest with you . I'm NOT jumping with joy over this coin . Just too many small issues with it . I don't see any wear on the coin but my call is MS-62 . A few areas of weakness obverse and reverse .  |

I'm no pro at grading and I'm not jumping on a bandwagon, but my honest initial impression was MS-62.

wow, y'all were pretty much dead on, but I think in hand it could go up one grade.  |
