Picked this up today. What would you grade this half dollar?

Thanks,

I think ms64, but it is harder to see the reverse due to the shadow. Nice half!

At least MS-63, looks to be lusterous and if unbroken around the reverse as nice as the obverse then MS-64.

Maybe MS, maybe AU. It's often difficult to confirm mint state condition on Walkers. You need to carefully inspect Liberty's breastplate and left hip and the eagle's breast and leg to see if friction has occurred. Many a "mint state" Walker has actually been graded AU-58 when a TPG detected slight luster disruption over these critical high points.

If mint state, this one appears relatively mark free and potentially worth an MS-64 grade.

The obverse looks great however the breast of the eagle has a break in the luster. I took a new pic to show it better. I paid AU-53 money at an auction.

Whatever it would end up grading that is a beautiful looking coin.
