I have her at G-06 with a value of $150-200. Am I too critical? Generous? What thinketh thou?   |

The rim damage is most unfortunate. I agree with your assessment of G6.

Agree with G6 details. The damage unfortunately will seriously hurt the appeal and value. In addition to the flattened rim at 7-8:00 the obverse also shows a significant rim dent at 1:00 and a dig next to E in LIBERTY. I can't be sure but it also looks like someone may have tried to re-engrave the curl of the flag (below I in LIBERTY) and the edge of Miss Liberty's gown. Retail value of an original G6 is close to $300. I'm afraid the damage will cut that potential value by half, maybe more.  |

Lovely key date with very unfortunate damage and tooling marks.
With some expertise in circulated Walkers ...I agree with G06 as the technical grade ... although this is a details coin and likely worth 50% of the value if not damaged.

She certainly did her duty. I'm also at the G-06 mark with details. Value is a little harder to pinpoint because of the marks and possible engraving. Still better than a hole in your album.

I'll examine these areas when I get back home. I didn't pay anywhere near $300 for it, so I'm not worried. I did notice the rim dent at 1:00 on the obverse. |

Maybe it's just the lighting, if you could reduce the lighting, that'd be great - but I think it's been cleaned too.
G details.

There is no signs of engraving, but there is a little porosity around that area (concentrated around the I). The flattened rims are a reult of wear, not damage. There are two rim bumps: one at 1:00 and one under the date. There is a dig next to E in LIBERTY and over the O in DOLLAR. There is a scratch between the R and T in LIBERTY and a light one from the L in LIBERTY to the flag. Quote:

Well, I paid $70 for it and 3 other halves. Just sold this one for $155.
