panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18844 Posts	Posted Yesterday 09:05 am this is an odd ball. the discrepancy between the obv and rev appears to be two different coins. the obv looks VF and the rev AU. the only conclusion I can make is that the obv is weakly struck. I seriously dont know how net grade this one. the 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar did face notable strike quality problems. The Mint made multiple design and die modifications in 1916 and 1917 to address these problems, but none of the strike&-improving changes were fully successful. This meant that even with adjustments, many early Walkers still showed weak or uneven strikes. if I disregard the strike issues at the mint i'd say AU53. if I was to net it I guess i'd say XF45 Edited by panzaldi Yesterday 09:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1294 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:13 pm I was somewhat aware of the weak strikes but struggled to tell the difference between weak strikes and wear. Thanks for the explanation and the grade.it does matter to me when someone explains how and why they get to a number. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6427 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:43 pm Nice one! High VF or low XF obverse, AU-50 reverse. Could go XF-40 or 45 overall. I don't see any problems. I've been looking for a mid-grade example for my Walker album. This one would fit very nicely. Report this Post to the Staff

Which I'm trying to do. I still have many to go. Thanks for taking a look jaobler Report this Post to the Staff
