Bought this at an antique shop last fall. My first (and currently my only) Walker. Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous!


This coin is the reason we collect coins. MS-64, IMO, at least.

I am going to say between high AU and low MS. I am thinking MS-62 but just started grading these.

Tough photos to grade from, but I'd speculate something in the MS64-5 range.

It looks like it could reach MS-64 for me too.

I think I see a touch of wear on the breast and maybe the left leg.
Thumb separation on the left hand; that's good.
Feathers missing on the eagle's left leg but I think that's just from a soft strike.

I'd say AU-55/-58.

I am surprised that almost everyone's thinking MS, and some are saying 64.
I am seeing some slight wear on Liberty's head as well as the breast. Maybe some on her legs.
My guess is AU-58 at best.
AU-55 is my guess.

Can't say whether it is mint state, but a well-struck walker. Nice find!

I see wear, so it is a high AU.

Don't think it's mint state. Definitely see some wear on the high points. I'll say AU-55.

Slight wear on this coin.

I think it wasnt circulated and whoever handled it knocked it out of MS area and down to AU-58.

Thats just my 2 cents.
