I think it would get an F-12 as in hand there aren't any hairlines that would suggest that it was cleaned, I doubt the toning would get it detailed but you can never tell what the grader might call it. With out the background  With the background  |

I agree, VG-08 sounds about right. Looks like nice subtle natural toning.

I'll go with VG as well.

That's a real looker, johnhenry! By the way, natural toning won't details a coin.

VG-10 or F-12. Toning looks OK but is unlikely to add much value to this common and heavily worn Walker.

I do plan on getting it and some other coins certified at some point in the future (>10 years) unless something comes up.

Looking like VG10 (could go 08 but leaning towards 10), great toning. How did you end up with this piece?

How did you end up with this piece? I saw this Walker by pure chance as I originally wanted to get some coins I had sent in to get graded by PCGS. Once the coins came back I went in to get them and I usually buy at least one coin when I go in (As I just hate being seen as a tire kicker). So, I looked around for about 2 1/2ish and found some coins I liked then he said that he'd recently picked-up some raw junk/constitutional silver (Dimes, Quarters, Halves) so I checked them out. I was able to find some Washingtons I needed for the book and just decided to check out the Walking halves just in case I found one I needed. I found it in one of the rolls, wanted it, and so I got it (luckily the owner doesn't really care for toning especially when they're this circulated) so I was able to get it for melt. This is likely my longest post. So, I do apologize for the tiny wall of text |

a couple point on your coin
just because there would be no hairlines does not mean a coin was not cleaned. one of the most popular cleaning techniques is chemical dip which does not leave any hairlines.
a 43 half is extremely common coin. in its present condition it has a retail value of $12. lets say you send the coin to PCGS, you will pay a $69 subscription fee, a $23 grading fee plus shipping and insurance both ways.
there are only 2 reasons to slab a coin
1. its a rare coin and requires certification and preserved
2. the coins value exceeds grading fees so that there is a substantial remaining profit AND you are planning on selling it.
i don't think your coin meets that criteria.

Nice looking but you would be wasting money sending it to get graded.
