SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 7:05 pm 50 Cents, I have looked at this many times and have hestitated to "go first", but this piece of art keeps drawing me back. The spot toning on the obverse is mesmerizing! It almost looks too good to be true. I see no blemishes in the fields and only some slight contact marks on the upper thigh. From this picture I would say the 64/65 range. It's truly one of the most gorgeous Walkers I've seen. Congrats! Edited by SeatedNut 10/25/2007 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 7:25 pm I know nothing about grading Walkers, but I do know eye appeal when I see it! I agree with Nut, this has got to be one of the most beautiful half dollars I have ever seen! The blue toning makes it, IMHO, look like artwork. Report this Post to the Staff
50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 10/27/2007 10:57 am Thanks for the nice comments.... This Walker is graded 65 by NGC and has proof-like surfaces and was stored in a Wayte Raymond Album for years. Report this Post to the Staff

Sheepy Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 10/30/2007 1:47 pm Wow... she is spectacular! What causes the various toning? What would cause the blue vs rainbow vs gold? I have to start looking for toning... I love the color! Kim Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 10/31/2007 09:03 am Wayte-Raymond pages are known to cause fantastic toning. I'm sure it's due to a higher sulpher content. The toning is beautiful. I think NGC hit the mark with this one. Report this Post to the Staff
