Is your white balance off? If not that is some nice toning.

I see this coin at 4X on my screen; I would love to see it at 10X, as the graders do.
From the pictures though, MS65 looks about right. Pictures a bit dark in patches, so cannot grade the whole coin.

The best of my Walkers is only 63.
Rest in Peace

I snapped the pictures up to 10X, and you are assured of an MS-65, I'm quite certain. I've been working Walkers for my own set pretty heavily the last few months so I've looked at kabillions of them in the 63-66 range, and I agree this should pop a 65 without a bit of trouble.

Unable to grade from these photos, too hard to tell what the surfaces really look like.

They look pretty good to me - agree with 65 at least.

Don't know the population reports, but I'll say 66 or 65+

On second look, I think IGE is correct - better and larger pics are needed for a meaningful assessment. I withdraw my "65 at least" comment with apologies.

I'm going to say 63' but there's some striations/scratches in the rays of the sun?

I would also like to see different pictures to grade this coin. Right away I saw that nick in the third long feather on the left side, but for other noticable ones there appears to be a nick on the back of the front knee, in the sun, and a scratch in the AM of America. I do not think this coin would make MS-65 based on these pictures.
Rest in Peace

I Tend to argue with all down graders of this WLH . I'm not going to let a few tiny pings stand in my way of calling this coin MS-65. JUST SAYIN !
