Hey CC Family, here is a 1942 rescued walking liberty I pulled from CRH yesterday. Besides being improperly cleaned in my opinion. What do you think this coin could be graded at. I think an AU50 Cleaned. Thanks

I wondered if it is still possible to find walking liberty in CRH. Thanks for showing.
Don't know about grading though, sorry.

The photo does not show enough of the details to give you a very precise grade opinion, but I think it's in the 45-50 range from what I can see.

From the looks this has probably been WHIZZED rather than just cleaned, but again, the photo makes it hard to determine that for sure.

Hard to tell what it would grade details wise, but hey, a Walker at face value is a win. It looks like a good candidate for a pocket piece.

Here are a couple of more photos, still trying to get a good pic, I took a closer look and I don't see any plating just think its been polished.

Hard to tell, the surfaces look a little strange but it could just be the photos and my old eyes..

I have a video of me pulling a few walkers from rolls. I was pretty excited.

For the grade I'll say 45ish cleaned.
