Seller's pics. I don't have a lot of recent experience with WLHs, and the few higher-grade pieces I bought at auction didn't pan out very well, so I'm experimenting with lower-grade stuff for awhile.

I paid $87 for this coin. What say you?

TPG in the post title. Grade is for you to determine, for now ...

Pretty weak in the skirt, but I'd say XF-40.

Close to EF-40, price seems right.

Wondering if this was Struck Through Grease

Rev has XF40 sharpness, obv is VF35-XF40 except those skirt lines have an appearance associated with much lower grade coins

Not sure this could be accounted for by strike alone

Nice-looking original coin. Weak skirt lines are standard for early Walkers. The minor scratch at the eagle's beak does not detract. Breast plate looks too weak for XF; I'd be at VF-30 or 35. Price seems fair.
