#2, 1917-D, mintmark on the reverse. I'm not sure what the odd color is on the obverse, toning or from a cleaning?   |

I'm thinking AG. Although I am not the best grader. Not sure if the odd color on the obverse would detail it or not.

I'm going with G04 because of the rims all showing.

Full rims and date is full...what I insisted upon as a minimum when building my set.  |

Another at G04. The date is close to being full.

I can agree with G04 range.

Enough rim there for a G-4.

tough call that this coin would grade straight. all the horizontal swipe marks and the coins overall appearance are pointing to a cleaning.
G details (cleaned)

That reverse is really strong for a G-04. I agree with G-04 as the technical underlying grade here, but the reverse rim is about all that holds the reverse back from G-06. The obverse is weaker.
Yes on the old cleaning, so G-04 Details sounds right.
Pretty good snag for a melt value purchase.

Panzaldi, fortcollins, thank you both very much!
Noted on the cleaning, I'd figured as much, but still very happy to grab this one.

I commend you for starting this set. Walkers are well-designed coins, and are readily identifiable and collectible all the way to AG-03. Other series didn't fare as well in circulation, such as the Buffs and SLQs. Not all detailed coins are equal. Your instincts are sound. I'd take a "details - cleaned" coin any day over a bent, holed, filed, or graffiti-covered coin. Keep going. You will have a collection that is well worth the time. And in the process, you will be assembling a grading set that you can use for other Walkers. |
