Received this in a trade for a 1938D Walker (AU53) - any Thoughts on grade? AU53?   |

Easy AU-55 with a shot at 58.

You're missing that 1938-D is a Key Date, the third-lowest mintage of the entire series behind 1921-P and 1921-D. Of course, that only narrows the gap - this Half Eagle is worth at least 50% more than the Walker is and jcra80 traded with somebody who must have wanted that Walker really bad. I'd give $300ish for an AU53 1938-D Walker. If I had the money (I don't  ), I'd throw $400 at this Half Eagle right now, based only on these pics. It's absolutely no worse than AU55 and I'm not positive it's actually circulated at all. |

Good deal. I'd say this is a 55 at least.

I'm assuming you paid $100+ and the '38-D Walker for that gold piece. It does look AU and is easily worth $400 as previously noted.

I think the coin could grade MS-62, maybe 63 on a good day. The cheek, feathers, and fields look fully lustrous to me without the dark, dull surfaces and disturbed mint luster that I usually associate with wear.

No traces or signs of wear, maybe on the chin but I'm not certain, so don't quote me on that.
Looks better than my '61 1907, so I'm at a 62 maybe a 63.
