SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 06/30/2009 07:50 am If BU, I wouldn't go any higher than 61. On the obverse the breastplate, left forearm and left thigh appear flat. I see the same flatness on the reverse left leg of the eagle. On MS63 coins I see feather definition in this area. Double-check these areas for undisturbed mint luster. If none is present, it would probably only be AU. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/30/2009 09:19 am I think it just might be the picture and the lustre hiding some of the detail from the camera but I'm going to say this coin is at least MS-62. Nice looking Walker. Report this Post to the Staff
acidic1 Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 06/30/2009 11:19 am Yep, I've seen many PCGS and NGC MS62's and a few MS63's with more wear and less luster than that. I agree with "ichy" at least MS62. Report this Post to the Staff

busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 07/03/2009 1:55 pm I may be wrong but is that not wear on the leg brest and the leg of the eagle. I would give this EF to AU grade. Help me maybe it's not wear. Report this Post to the Staff
