Wow Fiddy! That's gorgeous.. It almost looks like your avatar.  You don't see many outside proof with the head, face and hand detail that this one has...super strike! And that golden toning is saweeeet! The only distraction is the scratch on the skirt below her left knee. Assuming there's nothing more hidden by the toning ... MS64 |

I don't see any cleaning, very nice coin. Super strike like Dave said. I'm going to have to lower the grade due to dings... MS63.

I'm in love with that coin.  MS63; if it weren't for the scratches, I'd give it an MS65. Beautiful toning. |

 MS63-64 The toning might get it bumped a grade. |

I also don't see any evidence of cleaning. I'd call it a gem (MS65). Very nice!

I would say it's hard to grade toned Walkers from images on the net so the laughs on me. Could be the images make the coin look flat with no luster. The 41 Walker date for some reason toned red even in some of the merc dime I've seen this.

First of all, super nice looking coin ! I guess maybe I am to strict or the toning gave this one a bump ? Pretty good strike with a nice thumb and head details. I would grade this MS-64 .The chatter running up the leg and the small hits on the lower dress, the hit on the eagle's neck and the rub and small hits down the breast/leg would keep me from going higher from the pictures. Some marks could be on the slab...some things can be hidden by toning, in hand I am sure this is a hard one to put down !(and easier to grade ) A keeper for sure.
