It's the only two pics they have up, besides the ones that reveal the grade.

Just looking at the strike on the obverse from the waist down, I wouldn't touch this coin at any high grade to be honest.

Ill just cut to the chase as this isn't a traditional guess the grade, but a feeler to see if you agree with the grade given by ICG, they have it at MS 61

61 is fair, but I wouldn't pay 61 prices, given the strike/ sterile eye appeal (based on these pics).

Certainly appears to be uncirculated, with nice frosty luster. The weak obverse detail is pretty typical for early Walkers. I'd guess MS-62 and ICG MS-63 wouldn't shock me.

Oh no, this is the standard ICG discounted crack out game price. ;)

AU-58 is what came to my mind,but ICG must have gave it a MS of some kind.

I could be wrong but I think it's a counterfeit . The line above the date is supposed to be horizontally straight ; on
this coin it is not .
Or It's graded MS-64, No wear LDS on obverse .

I don't think even ICG would holder a fake. It is in one of the old green cases, and checks out against their on line DB

i dont like the look of this coin. spots on the obverse. discoloration under "IN GOD WE TRUST". dull high points on the devices. the reverse looks like it had a light polish.

AU-58 but unable to tell if the surfaces are original in these photos.

I think it's MS details cleaned or overdipped

I'm going to keep an eye on it, if it gets cheap enough, I may have a look, but it would have to get real cheap as this guy doesn't offer returns.

Two red flags, 1. The coin looks quite washed out and lifeless, and 2. ICG can barely grade.

Oh wait, three red flags, the seller doesn't offer returns.

The parallel marks on Liberty's outstretched arm are interesting.
