Earlier this year I decided to give a run at the mid-date Walkers. I envisioned it as an album project, but am not past breaking out slabbed coins for the project. Earlier this month, my attempt at buying an NGC graded 37-P yielded a nice surprise in the form of a mislabeled holder: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1017554/mislabels#latest

In my latest attempt, a took a stab at an auction with an unflattering seller image. Below are the seller images and images done by our own CHD. I will always be a sucker for that rust/sunset look :)

    Strong strike on obverse. That toning is nice, and is helping out by concealing some noise in the right field.
    Good looking coin.

    Pretty ballsy, I don't think I would have gambled on that but it sure paid off. Nice coin!

    Missed your thread on the "extra metal" 37, nice score!

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    New NGC holders are also photographed at the source:

    But those pictures aren't necessarily better than any seller photos.

    Wow! Given the seller's pics, I wouldn't have paid more than 62 money for that! Nice grab!!! That's one pretty coin!

    Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
