I recently sold a 1946 D Walking Liberty half, graded 65+ by PCGS.
Two other auctions for similar coins were ending about the same time; a 1946 D with a green CAC sticker and a nice 1946 D in an "Old Green Holder".
The results of the auctions were as follows:
With shipping the coin with the green bean sold for virtually the same price as the 65+ (with shipping). The 65 in the OGH sold for 2/3 what the other coins' prices. All sold well short of prices per the PCGS price guide.

I just sent two MS65 46D Walker's to Great Collections. I'll be interested in seeing how they perform(no green beans).
Thanks for sharing.

It is not entirely clear, but if the OGH coin ended last, it could be that the couple of folks looking for a nice 65ish 46D at that time had already been satisfied by the previous two auctions ??

Hard to draw meaningful conclusions with so little data.
It is a common date later Walking Liberty Half. Buyers clearly were not excited by any of the coins offered.
Did you check the bid history of the first one? your highest shown, it does not make sense ....

These are really common coins, ones where everything matters—grade, sticker, holder, and appearance. Appearance also means photos, and without seeing how any of those coins actually look, it’s hard to gauge how they compare. Certainly The quality of the photos will also make a difference. If the cheapest coin has poor photos or doesn’t look as good as the others even if it looks nice, I have no reason to be surprised that it sold for less, especially compared to a sticker and a plus.
Yes, that is strange> @sellitstore said:
Yes, but I figured this auction echoed something I have read here before, that the green bean is the equivalent of a + grade.
For the record, the Greysheet price is $80 in 65 ($108 CPG) and $92/$124 for 65 CAC. Greysheet 66 is $140. So, to me, those prices are right in line with what I would have expected.
What is the shipping charge on the bottom two coins?
Edited to Add: It is $5 shipping on the 65 + and $5.15 for the 65.
So, the correct price comparision is:
$120 for the 65 CAC
$118.50 for the 65 +
$86.15 for the 65
That is pretty much right in line with the CPG which would have the 65 CAC at $124 and the 65 CAC and 65+ are both within "whistling distance".
The straight 65 is a little cheap at $108 CPG but you will never get good statistics on a sample size of one coin.
Thanks for sharing I find those results interesting; I don't mean to imply that any conclusion can be made but still interesting.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I tend to watch WLH auctions, no particular reason other then I really like the big old half dollars. Those prices seem in line with what I have seen generally.... No surprises really. Cheers, RickO
Me thinks it's in the hype of the title. I despise descriptors like, rare, amazing , supurb, etc. Just list a coin and let it sell itself! BTW anyone know what a "Carat Coin" is?
It's the seller's name
