Should I send this out for certification?

    No, as it looks AU to me.

    @MFeld date was a typo. Fixed

    It wouldn't be worth the fees and shipping.

    Nice Walker, though...

    Agreed - probably AU58. Not worth sending in. Just a nice looking common Walker

    Way better than any Walker I have, but I agree, probably not worth the cost of certification. Beautiful coin though.

    Pix show some marks to the right of Liberty and above the motto. I think the best result would be 63, though your first picture of the reverse suggests slight wear/AU - tough to judge from pictures. Value in a 63 holder is about $40. Grading and postage would eat up most of those $40. The reverse looks nice.

    @JBN yes my pictures never really come out very well. I dont see any breaks in the awesome luster on this coin. It has quite a few small marks on the front of the coin. Mostly the leg and head area. It also has awesome toning that my pic can't capture. The luster is amazing to me. But also makes harder to photograph.

    44 gotta be a 66 to justify the submission cost unless you got it quite cheaply. Pics aren’t helping your cause.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Even then unless PL or rainbow toned, I’d hold off unless a 67.

    Yeah definitely no sub unless you are sure it's a 66. Wouldn't sub this one but looks like a pretty coin

    No, as it doesn't look MS67 to me.
