Tbar Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 3:49 pm I can't tell if that is friction on her breast or just the photos. If not,I'll take a shot and say ms-62-63. Otherwise A nice au-58. Nice coin fifty! Edited by Tbar 01/09/2007 3:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 4:57 pm I'm nowheres near an expert on Walkers, but that seems a rather odd obverse strike - weak right down a vertical line in the center. If it were that much wear, I'd expect to see more involvement of the gown detail, and the rear foot area. Furthermore, there are flow lines visible at the periphery, which is fully struck. The reverse could just barely be starting to wear. This is a weird one, unless there's something to weak-strike Walkers I don't know about. My guess is AU58 with a softer strike of unknown cause.

Last chance :) Ah, the magical land of raw coins and ebay. There are still a few honest sellers left, but the vast majority seem to be ex-ACG graders. I'll guess 1 and 2!

50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 01/11/2007 12:25 am 2)AU-58 with impaired luster and altered surfaces I love to take chances on ebay, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I paid $7.00 so I didn't get hurt to bad but this Walker has been dipped quite a few times and the luster is almost gone. The reverse has spots from not getting a good rinse.
