Some scritches, some scratches and some dings, but what grade do you think?   Do not read this sentence.

this is a strange one to grade. devices like the shoe, stars and feathers detail lends me to believe that its a weak strike and the cleaning probably did not help the higher devices like the gown over the left leg and eagle breast

1921 S Walking Liberty half-dollar coin, it's kind of beat-up. I would say a $450 coin (F-15, Damage).  |

Also at XF details.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks, all. Yes, it's been through the wringer for sure, but I do agree it has got some good details. It's certainly the era of weak strikes on a number of US coins, especially Bison Nickels and Standing Liberty quarters, so maybe a weak Walker is no surprise. I knew the damage was there, so I was happy to pay U$200 for it. And it's considerably better than the one it replaces in my collection. Do not read this sentence.

XF details damaged key date. The damage is extensive - but I think you paid a fair discounted price for it.
