AU details, drastically altered surfaces. Besides the apparent plating or polishing, some features look strange. Liberty's right arm is curiously hollow in the center. The breastplate area looks battered and the flag, olive branch, and obverse fields show a weird pebbly texture. Counterfeiters often blunder date digits but the date on this coin looks correct.

This is a high-grade but suspiciously bizarre example of a semi-key Walker. An original AU is worth over $1000, but not this one. My first priority would be to establish authenticity.
