Well it's been almost a week since I put one up so here one is. Another one from the Denver mint. I will give a little longer to guess on this one. Seems like I cut that last one off too early. The views are over 300 on the others so I guess there is interest in looking at Walking Liberty half dollars. This was another one I had to have when I saw it. I included a twins shot to give you a better idea of what the coin looks like if you don't zoom way in on it. Good luck.    |

I'd say MS64+....great eye appeal no wear on skirt lines, breast; although I see a scratch under the right arm, and the reverse has a scratch on lower part of left wing. Nice coin though.

It separates the stars from the stripes. On the REV the closer I look at it I think there might be die problems. One starts at the rim by the R and goes straight up the design. It appears to be raised not a scratch. There are a couple more to the right of that in the wing. Could be striations. The white wavy line was fuzz on the slab when I took the picture. It is gone now. I don't know enough about these yet to know if there are documented die problems like with Morgans and Peace dollars. Maybe a more knowledgeable person can help. Edited by tpg22

MS66. Not quite at 67 but an attractive coin nonetheless that would probably CAC sticker at MS66.

MS67 I think but then again my track record isn't so great on the walkers.

The dark areas appear to be luster breaks.
If they are then the graders will make a best guess as to the cause.
If they think mishandling (slider) then it could be as low as AU-58.
If they think normal Mint handling probably MS-65.
This is one of those coins that has to be viewed in-hand.

I would have to guess it's another 67. I love any WLH that looks like a ASE in a photograph. Very nice.  |
