Hi CCya
Interestingly enough, I was just thinking about this coin the other day !!
I think I like the inhand photos better, I hope they do the coin justice, as far as the colors being true.
My opinion has not changed on the coin, I believe it is a bit undergraded.
Nice Walker, She's beautiful !!!
Thanks for sharing the pics with us !!

These are both stunning coins. I have owned a few 1799's ,but nothing as pretty as yours! I have a few MS66 Walkers and that series is stunning in high grades. Great stuff!!! Congratulations. Mike  |

Very nice coins. I like the in-hand photos of the 1799 much better. The coloring is breathtaking. Also a very nice Walker.  The 1799 obverse looks like a strong VF25/30 to me. The reverse looks like a lower grade, but it's hard to tell with these since so many of them had weak reverse strikes. Are you going to get it graded or leave it raw? |

Thanks for the thoughts and comments . The 1799 resides in a PCGS VF35 holder . The coin in hand photos are a true representation of the coin . Albeit , the collector that took the pics said it was one tough coin to shoot . I think, had the auction photos bin more like the coin in hand photos , the hammer price would have bin stronger . IMHO  |

it looks like the auction photos are scans, is that correct? That is one reason that I always photograph my coins instead of scanninning them, it is just so much more accurate than a scan. |

They need to invest in a better photographer then, that "picture" is exceptionally flat, it does the coin no justice! |
