Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 03/28/2026 2:46 pm Tough one to grade - I'd probably go Light Strike AU (58) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 03/28/2026 7:29 pm I'm thinking maybe AU? There could be a Weak Strike issue involved, making it tougher to grade it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 03/29/2026 12:11 am AU 53 to 55 to these old and tired eyes of mine. Lovely coin no matter how it grades Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3628 Posts	Posted 03/30/2026 1:32 pm I'm not sure what was going on with the Philadelphia half dollars in 1920, but there are a couple die pair that produced absolute pancake central strikes with strong peripheral strikes. Maybe a basining issue? This looks like a coin from one of those die pair. This coin has strong luster. I wonder if this could be a slider. If it is an UNC, the contact marks would hold it to the 61-62 range. I can't get a good enough feel to take a stab at a specific grade here from the photos, but my hunch is the 55-62 range.

Silverskunk Pillar of the Community United States 749 Posts	Posted 03/30/2026 4:26 pm I'd like to know the story of that gouge in "In" in the obverse. Is that the die ? I like the coin even if its not a world beater. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 03/30/2026 8:46 pm Nice-looking Walker. The mark on I of "IN" appears to be a contact mark. There is a similar hit at the back of Liberty's right knee. Probably some strike weakness is present but some detail loss is from wear IMO. I'll venture an AU-53 grade. Report this Post to the Staff
psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1758 Posts	Posted 03/31/2026 08:59 am I'd be at AU-53-55 range. Mark in the "I" is a contact mark. Report this Post to the Staff
