39-D walker... [update] [true view added]

steveben

my son and i visited 7 coin stores last week as sort of an end of summer thing to do. we had a great time. we came up with is this 39-D walker. we think maybe it's worth submitting for reconsideration...what do you think? (those purple dots are from the camera)

The coin looks to have lines on a good sized portion of the right obverse field, some haze or light splotchiness there, as well and some disturbances on, above and beneath Liberty’s left (to viewer’s right) hand. The good news is that I don’t see a single flaw on the reverse.😉

Looks nice for the grade. Strike is a bit soft in the center but that is typical for the 39-D. It looks like it was dipped and the luster is a little muted. I don't think it will upgrade but it's a very nice 66 that looks great in that OGH.

Very nice Walker.... Are the lines/haze perhaps on the slab? What does the reverse look like? Cheers, RickO

steveben

no, there is no haze on the coin. the 'marks' you see are probably toning (above IGWT and near L I).

i take kinda lousy photos to be doing this...but...

here are a couple more:

Smudge

I think 66 is about right.

I don't see it upgrading more than maybe a +.

I don't see upgrade potential from the images.

Nice coin.

No way that I could judge what to do from those photos. Looks like a coin that would need to be viewed in person to decide.

What do you grade it?

I'm wondering if some of the lines in the right field could be die polish lines which are often seen on the 1939-D.

Would try a cac submission.

As many dealers have told me even on nice coins like this, "just don't take it out of that holder".

I think it's 66+. It looks like lines but it's brown toning near igwt

steveben

The true view makes coin pop and looks flashy and PQ, while first pic makes it look dull and washed out.
I am assuming that the TV is more accurate.

Yes, the TV shows a distinct luster band in the obverse, right-facing field.
