Been watching this Walking Liberty half now for a while and I've pretty much set my max bid at about 55 just for the slab premium. Which is about $3-4 over what numismedia had. I feel that I basically have to get a walking liberty in a slab since there are so many crappy walkers out there that arent slabbed. Opinions or thoughts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/17094099163....m1423.l2649 |

That's a nice looking 63, but I wouldn't go too crazy on it. It's certainly not RARE as described in the listing, actually one of the more common dates. If that was a 44-S with that strike, then watch out and get out of the way!

Ya I wasn't going to bid too high on it. Probably no more than $60.00. It just one of the nicer ones that I have seen for a reasonable price lol.

Picture is dark but looks like a nice full strike. Very common in this grade, listed at $52 in NGC guide. Once you get to MS67 prices head above $1400 in NGC and $1750 in PCGS.

If you like the coin go for it. In my opinion you should be able to find a MS64 walker for slabbed for about the same price.

I agree $60 is too high for a common MS-63 Walker. I haven't checked lately but I expect you could find one at a show for more like $40 or even a bit less. The "slab premium" is a cost borne by the seller when they submitted it for grading. They probably hoped for something better than 63 but that doesn't mean you should pay for their optimism!

I say get it! The coin has booming luster and isn't that expensive. Its your money but if you can win it for 50-65 that would be nice

Alright well I made my max bid 52 at the moment and ill just watch it. More than likely ill let this one go if it gets over 52, just because I have been buying a lot of coins lately. Also because the holidays are coming up, and its my turn to give more rather than just receive. Any who, I appreciate all the wonderful responses! You guys are always great and I love all the different opinions. Helps make my decision easier.
SDcoinguy, I love this coin as well. The luster isn't as bright, but it would still be a good edition to my 7070. Question is, can you send me pictures of the coin cracked out of the slab. I want to see how it looks close up without a slab on it.
Thanks everyone!

It is Sunday night - a good time to NOT fall in love with a coin on ebay! |

definitely agree, I made my bid on it and I'm not going to move it. If I win it for 52.00 I'm content, if I lose it, I'm content. God has been good to me either way.

SD since its graded by ICG, its more than likely a much lower grade coin. Until I can get some good pictures, I couldn't even take a guess at it. ICG is known for over grading coins all the time.
