1916 P.D.S WALKING LIBERTY HALVES- IS THERE ANYTHING SALVAGEABLE?

0ronron

Going through and picturing my fathers coin estate to get them sold and wanna cry with some of these pictures...
I see a lot that has been cleaned and scratched.. Even great key dates..
Help with any kind of grades on these would be appreciated.
Trying to get some more coins to send in and do not want to send in garbage.
The grades on the flips are so far off and the prices are extreme.
S


D-Graded AU58 on flip


P-Graded MS60 on flip

Just my opinions, they are still great coins.
16S Fine details
16D AU details(Mostly due to the rim damage)-would be one heck of an album coin!
16P AU55(should grade)

Nice set of 1916's - The 16 S looks cleaned but the D & P are hard to tell from the pictures. They may be ok........I'm sure some Walker Experts will chime in shortly!

All three have been cleaned but will still be acceptable for budget album collections if priced right.

That is the question I have, how do I price out cleaned coins?
Since most of this collection looks either dipped, cleaned, or both.
Say it is AU details for example, Go by AU in the guide book and then take some money off?

Check the PCGS completed auctions section on the PCGS website and look at completed ebay auctions for details graded coins. These will give you a ballpark for what graded details examples sell for, expect less for raw coins.

Thank you!
I have been looking at some of them but not finding close enough completed for the condition that mine are in (good or bad)
and I understand, cheaper for raw but at the same time I do not want to put the money into them for just album fillers.

The 16S is very close to VF 20. I’m guessing ngc might straight grade it as such. PCGS would likely either net grade it F15 or genny details it.

The 16D is AU 53 in terms of details, but the rim hits plus the light to moderate cleaning make it tough to evaluate.

The 16P looks to be market acceptable at AU 55.

Raw coin dealers would definitely be interested in these at the right price, as they are better examples of popular coins.

Those WLH's are nice album coins. You might try selling them raw on the BST here... Your pictures are excellent and you can also reference this thread in comments. Cheers, RickO

1916-S: has some horizontal slide lines across the obverse. I think it would still grade F15 to VF20.
1916-D: AU55 details, but the rims are too choppy to grade, and even if it did grade the rim issues would still drag the price down some.
1916-[P]: Nice AU55.

The 1916-D also has rim damage. That means it needs another price cut.
