Made my first ever Walking Liberty half purchase yesterday. Seller says it's AU. Paid $20. What do you guys think?

Thanks for looking!

The pictures are too small for an accurate guess, but it appears to be ATLEAST AU based on the luster. A solid purchase at that price IMO.

with EC222, but there is a RANGE of AU grades, so accurate estimation of price based pictures seen here would be a bit nebulous, but $20 seems to be OK.

Looks like an AU-53 or 55 from those pictures.

I still see some mint bloom around ms liberty on the obverse and the eagle's breast feathers seem to be very strong.
based on the photos posted I would say Mid AU (53-55) maybe even better with clearer pics.
In any case, that was a great pickup for the money!

AU something indeed based on those photos.

You did well for $20.

Higher AU. AU-55 is my guess. Good work, $20 isn't bad at all!

It's a bit tough to tell from your pictures, but this coin looks (IMO) to be a high AU coin.

A steal at $20. Nice!
