I’m not very well versed in grading Walkers and sure could use some help. The coin looks to be original and not cleaned if that helps. Is this year well stuck? 1921 P. All opinions are appreciated.

    w/o pulling up photograde i'l call this vg something. a nice looking half and i would expect a few dings and bangs. not sure i'd call it cleaned from those images which are pretty good. a little sharper images with better lighting may reveal something else. a great album filler either way.

    G/VG. Not good eye appeal but that is not unusual for such low grades.

    VF30 is my guess, when referencing “making the grade” from coin world.

    Edit to say.
    Wow my grading seems optimistic haha, and I will defer to the experts. Looking again it still seems almost 20 to me. I wonder what exactly holds it lower. Maybe the circulation cameo makes it seem to have sharper details than it does?

    I'm seeing a 10 or so, I really can't seem to find a great match using photo grade.

    VG10/F12 with a tiny bump because it is a 21.
    Vg 8 is fair
    Vg 10 is realistic
    F12 is hope

  • Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 11,544 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The obverse looks very close to F12, but the reverse looks VG08, so I’d call it VG10.

    12, maybe 10

  • jclovescoinsjclovescoins Posts: 1,926 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow, a range of 6 to 30.
    I think it is textbook VG10. Don’t think it’s ever a G or VF

  • goldengolden Posts: 9,830 ✭✭✭✭✭

    10 here.

  • amwldcoinamwldcoin Posts: 11,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Might as well add another 10 to the average!

  • jesbrokenjesbroken Posts: 10,134 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It might go F12, but probably VG10 due to reverse.

    Agreed…. But I’ve seen coins like this offered as Vf by Sunday-bourse type dealers. I’m guessing they didn’t BUY it as a Vf though.

    This is the type of liner coin, if submitted to both services a number of times, would come back as a 10 say 60-70% of the time, with an occasional grade of 8 or 12.

    I will join the 10 vote.... Thought 12 looking at the obverse, then looked at reverse. Ten it is. Cheers, RickO

    Nice original F-12.

    VG8 was my first impression... but then I started looking at remaining dress line details and thought it could make 12... so, I'm thinking VG10...

    This coin makes me think of a CPG Variety --- nobody would buy it but everybody that found it would try to sell it. Like Walkkerguy21D, these kind of coins get bought real cheap and suddenly "grade-flated" quite a bit. I see a G/VG that looks a little doggish and might improve with some time in someone's pocket.

    This appears to be a better date nice, unmolested circulated coin.
