Appreciate any thoughts or opinions to grading this coin.
Tried to capture the luster the best I could here. The reverse has just a hint of toning going on. In hand, the coin does exhibit a brighter eye appeal. It's definitely a keeper in our (my wife and I) collection.

A real knockout, but obverse leg hits might hold this to MS-64.

Agree with MS-64. Beautiful luster, but slight strike weakness.

Great Walking Liberty half, you might want to change the title to the 1940 date.

On a Monday grading session I'd give it a solid 64; on a Friday afternoon grading session I'd give it a few extra points and push it up to a 65.

Nice coin!

Better grade Walkers with undisturbed luster are always a joy to look upon.
MS-64.

Nearly 100% hammered reverse with a mid/latemid die state obverse.

Agree...64!
