Sorry to disappoint but this is the second smallest crossover sampling there can be but take from it what you will.
Edit: I need to mention that these were cracked out of the previous holders.
This NGC holder was damaged and I thought it would be a good candidate.
The Trueview is very accurate.
I really like this common WLH for my typeset and I thought it deserved a bump in grade but it didn't.
NGC MS64
PCGS MS64
Next up is this crusty 1899-O Morgan.
I had even more faith in this coin, thinking it was undergraded and they agreed.
The Trueview does not do this one justice. It is not as ugly as the pic.
It has great luster that you'd expect from this grade and it pops through the mottled toning.
NGC MS65
PCGS MS66

Judging by strike only the Walker wins. Both nice coins. Not going to judge the grades as they have the coin and we just have a photo and they are the pros.
I would guess higher on the walker with no major hits. Maybe the right obverse field chatter and whatever’s going on at the bottom right of gown? Still a pretty tough grade for a great looking coin.
Looks good to me, congratulations !!!
Congrats, @sparky64 !
Those look great!!

That morgan is sweet, nice.
That WLH is a real beauty... but I think it has the right grade.... Cheers, RickO
Very nice coins and love the walking liberty. Congrats on a successful crossover!
Very nice coins, I favor that Morgan dollar.
I agree with the Walker ending back in a 64 Tomb
I am thinking that the Morgan may still be a 65 hiding out in a 66 holder due to color(Toning). Nice none-the-less IMO
Great eye and new holder. Score.
Best place to buy !

If you think the pic of the Morgan is ugly it must be spectacular in person! I think it looks fabulous!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Nice coins!
The Walker looks better than a 64.
I have seen far inferior coins in 65, even 66 holders.
Nice selection for crossovers! Winnah!

I like the Walker better than a 64 as well. I like to say.. Every coin deserves a second chance.
Congratulations on the Morgan upgrade.
The Walker could easily be a 65.
I think the reverse is actually holding it back. Still a really nice looking coin

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Resubmitting a nice common date walker that is graded MS64 is a tough call. Even if there was a 'guaratee' of an upgrade to MS65, the certification costs outweigh the possible price gain. One can put these nice 64's on the block for $40 or so, or make a nice 7070 collection in an albumn-which I have done.
I probably shouldn't have called the Morgan ugly, I actually really like the toning as well.
I have a few others with similar all-over-the-place toning and I've gotten negative comments to my surprise.

I love the Walker and the obverse held it back IMHO.
