I'm thinking FN12. Your opinion/grade on this 1933-S Walker?

    Maybe a Fine-15. It is a very pleasing coin with quite a bit of circulation but no defects. In “the old days” it would have been a Fine-12.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    A very choice Fine 12.

    Looks fine to me. Literally and figuratively.

    Seems about right, F12 or F15. Nice circulated look that would fit in well in a circulated album.

    I think it is a bit better, with almost full lines under the breast, which puts me at 15 or even 20.

    Nice looking example! I’d say F15.

    12 maybe 15.

  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,429 ✭✭✭✭✭

    15 would not be unreasonable

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Doesn't even have to be "a good day" to give this one a 15.

    Sweet!
    Thanks for the validation.

    I don't have a problem calling it an F 15.

    Very attractive coin.

    I have this 1933-S Walker. It did not straight grade as our host deemed it to be "cleaned".

    So between the coin posted by the OP and my "cleaned" coin, which would you prefer?

    And why?

  • braddickbraddick Posts: 24,195 ✭✭✭✭✭

    SanctionII, your's every day of the week.
    If cleaned- not offensively so.
    Fully struck details, too, with a golden sheen.
    I'd take yours over a half dozen of mine.

    I would call the OP coin an F15.... @SanctionII ... That WLH, if put in an old envelope on a sunny window sill for a couple of months, might straight grade. ;) Cheers, RickO

    F15 based on PCGS Photograde

  • coastaljerseyguycoastaljerseyguy Posts: 1,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    SanctionII, seems to have luster based on photo, in hand do you see any hairlines or is the luster really muted for a cleaned designation. Maybe it did sit in an old envelope on the window sill for that golden toning & was questioned by our host.

    Is there anything going on with the rim at 2:00? By the way I have no issues having that coin in an album and no question which I'd prefer.

    I think higher… Solid VF-20

  • Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 11,538 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If this were one of the 1919 or 1921 trios, it would undoubtedly be in a VF 20 holder.

    I like it as a F15.

    No doubt. Nice coin.

    I really like the 33-S as F-15.

    It has good, clean and honest wear. It looks great at that grade.

    A choice 15, think it's just shy of a 20

    Looks like the 37D above as PVC on the obv by the Y. Easy to miss with a quick view, but from pic looks like it. Good example for the other post about not obvious PVC. A dip in acetone should take it right off.
