I had to have one for my aspiring 7070 and I came across this beauty. What made it stand out compared to the other thousands of blast white slabbed WLHs so readily available were the reflective mirrors. Not really DMPL but a bit PL.

What do you think PCGS gave this lovely lady?

I will guess this walker came back as a MS-64. The coin looks like it could be MS-65 otherwise but the lack of detail in the left hand may have held back the grade a bit.

Can't see any wear, so it has to be an MS grade.
Few tiny dings where you go looking for wear with these, one or two tiny scratches both sides that would be hard to find without a loupe.
The TPG's use standard 10x magnification to grade with, so what I found here should also be found by them.

I have seen slightly sharper strikes with earlier dates with WLH's, than this one.

Looks to be a nice blast white, with full lustre; THAT has to be in it's favour.

MS63 or 4.

I was thinking MS-64. There are a couple marks that I can't tell if they are on the coin or the holder, if they are on the holder I wouldn't be surprised if it went 65. Nice coin!

I don't think there's a chance this one came lower than 64. I'm at a good MS65.

PCGS gave her an MS63

i think it might be under graded but again, for me, I like slightly PL to as deep PL an MS coin can be. I want to finally build a solid 7070 over the course of time and when I run into a beauty I will jump

thanks for looking
