Guess the Grade: 1946-P 50c Old ANACS

I'm falling in love with collecting small ANACS holders. These wavy cartwheel gorgeous lustrous little things are BEAUTIFUL. I was going to keep up on rattlers but I love these, how they feel, their heft and size.

Any guesses on the grade? :D:p:D

I used yellow light for details and ambient light for (hopefully) color luster and surfaces.


Photos 3 and 6 below are probably closest to in hand example. I tried to get different areas on the last 4 pictures.

    I’m in at 63. There are some bothersome marks on both sides that bother me.

    Anyone else like these? It actually feels like I'm holding a coin, not something destined for the recycle bin!

    I'm bothered by that long abrasion in the right facing field. There's a bit of chatter on the center skirts, as well.

    MS 63 shot at 64.

    I' with WalkerFan...63 or 64

  • Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 11,442 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I wasn't sure if the 'long abrasion in the right field' mentioned was on the coin or the holder - I think it's the holder, and I think the holder grade is MS64.

    Anyone else like these? Yes, I like the convenient size. I have a nice grouping of large cents in these holders that I posted awhile back.

    i am in the 63 camp,no expert on walkers tho, question, i am curious, how much of a scratch is needed b4 it gets a details grade, "scratch on obv", i have an 1875cc trade dollar that ngc gave a details grade, "scratch on rev" and i can barely see a scratch, any insight would b appreciated, thanks

    I love the small ANACS holders. My favorite of the small ANACS holders are without a doubt the first generation ANA holder though. As you start getting into the more recent holders with serial numbers above 6 digits, the grading can become a bit questionable.

    As for the grade on this particular Walker, it's tough to tell. Is that big mark directly above the G in GOD on the holder or the coin? If it's the holder, then I would guess MS-64 shot 65. If it's on the coin, then MS-63.

    I'm going with 64. I thought 65 for a bit, since the strike is quite nice....but enough hits to keep it 64.

    Now....what ANACS said at the time? Don't really have a grasp of the history to answer that question....

    I see a 64 but those old ANACS were sometimes tight. Possibly 63 on that holder.

    I am thinking 64

  • AzurescensAzurescens Posts: 2,744 ✭✭✭✭✭

    They are very tight on grades for these from what I've read. Also, there are still of course the 55 details that caught 63 and blahblah. Generally most people said +/- 1-2 points. I could see this as a 63 but also a 64. At least part of her hand is there, and the scratch or whatever isn't visible when handling the coin. I don't know if it's the luster keeping my eyes away from it.

    I have searched Google and coin forums for awhile looking at examples and examples of coins I can grade better.

    I

    I've wanted one for awhile and have been watching the market and what floats around for the past few weeks. It was only a few dollars after ebucks on my wife's account.

    I do enjoy having different generation slabs, also. I had a few ANA slabs go by that had two letters and a census thread here noted that they hadn't been collected.

    I also heard they're very easy to crack open by the corners.

    Oh and there's a small chip/scratch on the camera lense I used in some of the pictures. Maybe why it appears and disappears?

    There's a mark right behind her for sure. Please let me know if you are other anomalies it'd be appreciated.

    I goofed on reverse pics and now it's all put away.

    Oh I see now. That line kills it. It kind of blends with the circle of the coin and the thin almost invisible line outside. Thankfully the L isn't a hit and just color. The bottom most left of her skirt is what appears to be a failed attempt and putting the ray through her gown and not a gouge or something like I had originally thought. I bet a staple got it with that line. It appears to be three close grooves that something small and sharp moved fast back and forth.
