The coins look like twins , Both MS-64
only reason I didnt go higher on the first one is the little bit of rub on the breast and face, and the nick on the gown.the Reverse is beautiful!!
64 on the second for a little rub on the breast and face, and a bit of a weak strike both obverse and reverse,
very nice coins !!!

I'll agree with metalman on these twins. If it was't for the rubbing on these I think they would grade MS64.

Thanks for your comments I have few 44, 45, 46 Unc LWH. My Dad bought a number of WWII Unc coins. I wish he was here to tell me why he bought all of the Unc war era coins.

Many people collect the war years as "Short Sets". You will find sets of Winged Liberty(Mercury)dimes, Jefferson Silver Clad Nickels and Walking Liberties in sets of years 1941-1945 in honor of WWII. To me, Walkers are the second most beautiful coin ever minted in the U.S,the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle being first.  Beautiful coins and very solid 64's for reasons already stated. Mike |

The first coin looks like a MS 65. A little set of punctures in Miss L's skirts flowing around her left thigh looks like a bite mark and a wierdness on Miss L's left breast holds it back a bit, but the rest of the surfaces look okay (I'll bet this coin has more luster than you can see in the pic.) Can't tell what if anything the blue light in the lower area of the coin. The reverse looks fine.
The second coin looks like a solid MS-66 if the silhouettes of the devices are substantially more distinct that the picture here shows. It's looks like a satiny-lustrous coin and relatively mark-free. There's a hit on Miss L.'s left knee skirts. Her left hand, notoriously the first to go even in high grade mint specimens - is pretty good; one can see her thumb and, if he/she knows what it's supposed to look like, he/she might entertain some imagination that her wrist is turned a certain way, etc. The reverse has a couple of small spots, but it's otherwise fine.

Both coins show great luster. The photo exagerates the mark on the breast. The "bite" marks look like bag hits (I think). The thumbs on both don't show any wear. The blue light is just a reflection and does not show in hand.
There are some other circulated LWH coins in the collection, but in this general condition are these two as well as 3 45D, 4 45S, 2 46, 2 46D, and 2 46S. Some are better than others, but all were sealed in glassine holders and place in 2X2 coin envelopes. I would guess since the mid 40s.

I have been looking at these pics for a while now trying to decide on a grade. I feel that the breast appears slightly flat from rub. The marks in the skirt look like the result of other coins hitting it. Are these two different coins? They look like the same coin photographed at slightly different angles. I'd have to say MS63 with the hits in the skirt.

These are two different coins. The breast wear looks worse in the picture than in person.
Thanks to all of you for your help and comments.

In that case, the second one may go to MS64 in my opinion.
