tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 8:34 pm This was a coin I picked up at a coin show by accident. I bought it as an AU50. PCGS graded this one AU55. I'm pleased with that grade. This will be in my sons collection when I am done with it. The grades for this one were all over the place with 1 - AU55, 5 - AU53's, 6 - AU50's, 1 - EF45's, 2 - EF40's. I have decided to limit the raw Walkers that I buy to ones that are really well struck. I'm hoping there are some graded AU58's at the show tomorrow. Since they are very rare I'm not counting on it.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 8:47 pm I guess you really need to know the typical strike quality for early Walkers to begin to grade these. I obviously do not, but I thank you for the learning experience. Report this Post to the Staff
tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 8:54 pm You are welcome dave700x. I hope to get a little better at it soon. In the mean time I will over pay in some cases and make out in others. For me this is a hobby that costs money not an investment that needs to make money. Most other hobbies consume something and have no real worth in the end. At least these are always worth 50 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 9:11 pm I think it's real tough to grade from these images because they really don't show luster at all. Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7196 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 11:13 pm Wow, that's really surprising. Mine has considerably more detail and I thought it was AU55. Report this Post to the Staff
Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 01:27 am I think that AU55 is a fair grade. Pics are only worth +/- a grade.. Nicecoin! Tougher date! Report this Post to the Staff
