Thanks Dave.My guess was MS63-MS64,but I just don't know enough about them to be sure.I cannot find any wear or even hits on the coin except a few contact marks on her leg.

Maybe I should think about getting it graded. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe I should think about getting it graded. Do you plan on selling it? It's only about a $40 coin in MS64, so consider the total you'll have invested in the coin before choosing to have it slabbed. If you're going to keep it, I can't think of any reason to have it slabbed at all. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 12/08/2006 8:41 pm I'm not planning on keeping it.Just bought it for ebay fodder and the price was right. but if it might go MS65 or 66 then it might be worth having it graded. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeMaster Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 12/09/2006 12:15 am MS 64. Be careful. The grading on Walkers are strict when it comes to hits and ticks on the thigh and down the leg. PCGS may even go a 63. Report this Post to the Staff
