I would like to hear some thoughts on where this half should grade. The luster is everything you could ask for, flashy, bouncy. The place below the Y in Liberty is nowhere near as bad in-hand as the photos may show. Thanks!

64 sounds reasonable. The eagle's breast looks a little soft. Nice looking coin overall.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Is that an FS-101? I'd love to have a bucket of those, too...

MS64

Edit: Typed 801 instead of correct FS-101.

Might just be the photos but there seem to be a lot of tiny contact marks on both sides. Strong luster isn't enough to secure a high grade for Walkers. I think this one might struggle to get MS-63.

I agree, I can't get above MS-63 with all those marks.

Beautiful coin! The chatter on the right field takes it to MS-63 for me.
