raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 03:35 am 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar, I think it's AU, what do you think? If it is high grade, how would it compare with the Franklin halves in the same condition value wise? I know the Franklins are sought after, are these coveted as well? Thank you in advance if you can help. Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 05:28 am I have been looking for one of these for awhile. Trying to find one in the early years 1916-1930 with AU+ Grade we are talking a good chunk of change. If you magnify your picture there is some detail on the eagles breast feathers. The obverse shows good skirt lines. I like to see good fingers details on the right hand, hard to find. I say AU50. Report this Post to the Staff

That means MS, or very nearly so. If it is MS60 or better, I would really like to have a closer look for small scratches and dings. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 2:22 pm I think it is likely an AU with maybe a small shot at MS but some areas of the coin are not quite as well lit making me a little unsure which numerical grade to give it. Going by some of the better lit areas, the coin appears lustrous enough for possibly a mid to high AU. Report this Post to the Staff
raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 5:24 pm Thank you for all the responses, I got it on ebay for a little under melt ($9.50) because I believe the pictures were fuzzy and out of focus. It kept a lot of people from bidding as they were probably unsure of the condition. I could tell it had solid lines and took a chance that it actually looked far better than the pictures showed. On auction sites like ebay and on here, picture quality makes all the difference. If you use poor pics you aren't going to get what your coin is worth. Report this Post to the Staff
