    Nice eye @joeykoins !
    From the images it looks like you have a nice solid coin there.
    And being a long long time Walker aficionado, I can unfortunately tell you that despite being cool, the missing initials varieties have yet to gain serious traction among either variety guys or Walker fans.☹️

    Nice!

    Leave it as it is. It is just a common date MS64 Walker. Don't spend any more money on it.

    That slab took a beating. Coin looks nice though from what I can tell from the images. Looks like a good strike with a full thumb.

    The coin is fine as it is. I would leave it alone.

    Looks like someone took a bite out of that slab! :D

    It never ceases to amaze me what people do to those things! :o

    I would normally tell you to leave it alone, but that one needs reholdered, so why not an upgrade and variety attribution, while you're at it?!

    Nice Walker. Great strike and surfaces. <3

    I would like to have the Variety designation (Missing Initials) on the slab, as well as, I rather have the coin in our Host's plastic than anyone else's. I tend to choose PCGS over all! ;)

    I’m guessing you meant “I guarantee he will try to cross it”. But you can’t guarantee even that.

    Well, when any Variety is published in the famous and well credible Cherry Pickers' Guide, I am very interested! :)

    I don't disagree with you...
    It's just that my experience shows that with very few exceptions (two come to mind..the 42 DDR and 46 DDR) Walker varieties are a tough sell.

    These Initial varieties are pretty interesting. I also like the "Hand Engraved" Initials as well. Any Initial related variety coin, to me, are vital in any series. Not only in this series (Walkers) but how about the popular Lincoln Cent 1909s V.D.B. ? or the Kennedy "No FG" 1966 SMS? How about the Indian Nickel? The letter, "F" under the date? All these I mentioned, have some sort of premium, don't they? I look and search for all of these. ;)

    Missing designers initials is a cool and rare variety and is collected by many.
    A VERY nice walker my coin brother👍

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
