Amazing, only hits I see are on the rims. That coin will easily grade AU58 because of the friction marks that peeled the toning. The drapery lines are remarkable and I have seen coins like this grade low MS. nlp

Grade's AU55 IMO. Nice coin, standard date, probably worth 15-16$.

AU55. Could this have been a former album coin with toning like that? Or a roll end?

The reverse looks nice, the obverse not so much. Might go MS.

Nice!
Easily has a shot at MS 63 the reverse is really nice, it's to bad that toning rubbed off though
I had an super rainbow toned morgan, with toning missing/rubbed of in the fields and she was an MS64

It's really tough to find a nicely toned walker (nicely toned is subject to debate :) ). I've been looking for them for a while.. and they usually cost moon money. I was happy to find a deal on this one.

I think there is just a touch of wear on the leg. I will go with AU-58. Nicely toned!

I love it. Would have paid over melt any day. Might not be the scarcest coin ever but it is beautiful.

For a bit over melt, quite a nice coin.
It is one of my top 5 coin designs in all of numismatic history over the last 2,500 years. Two of those are U.S. coins. When I have given that much of a clue as to my tastes in coin design, it shouldn't be hard to guess the other.

These seem for me at least, easier to find in top condition without any toning. That is exactly how I like them. Nevertheless, the toning on this one does not detract.
