That coin has never seen too much circulation, if any at all.

Beautiful patina, very nice coin.

MS-60

Nice patina, I'm going to go a little higher and say it might grade MS-62.
Rest in Peace

If that's wear I see on the leg, AU-55.

If not, MS-60 dipped, unless the picture is just stripping the luster off....

I also see some light wear on the extreme high points. I'd have to say AU58 without having in hand.

Very well-struck, and slightly worn. The quality of the strike causes deception regarding wear, but the center of the obverse does not lie.

I've graded this as AU-58, myself. Thanks, folks.

Beautiful toned example. Probably AU55, might go 58 as a concession for the great eye appeal. The wear is minimal and some of the softness is likely strike weakness rather than wear.

I collect Walkers and tend to favor those in blast white but a toned example like this has great character. Thanks for sharing.

Nope, didn't win it. Came in second place on that coin yesterday by 50 cents. Wish I had bid a few bucks more.
