Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 10/17/2010 10:52 pm The breastplate edge is complete which I think is a minimum requirement for VF. I'd call this one VF-25. At any grade below AU the 1942-S is basically a bullion coin. It's an attractive coin regardless of numismatic value. Report this Post to the Staff
Syaoran_2001 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/18/2010 8:39 pm Thanks for your opinions, I appreciate it. This is my first and only walking liberty so it has a special place in my collection. This design is probably my favorite out of the 20th century coin designs, I wish modern coins were this beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 02:15 am I'd grade it VF details - Improperly Cleaned. The surfaces have a "washed out" look but since it's melt value coin, there's not much harm done. Be careful with circulated coins that appear this "clean". This is not normal on anything below AU condition and in AU and above, you should note significant amounts of mint luster remaining. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Syaoran_2001 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 2:06 pm I don't really care if it has been cleaned or not, it's still a really nice looking coin, and one of my favorites in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 6:56 pm I'm just getting started on these, and I agree, ya gotta love those walking liberty's. Hopefully the first of many for you! Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 11:03 pm F-15. I agree on the washed out appearance. Has definitely been cleaned. Good melt value coin or put it away in the safe for the next recession. IN another 6 months silver will probablyh close over $50 then you'll be in great shape. Report this Post to the Staff
