My pictures don’t do the coin any justice. In hand the coin has terrific eye appeal with lots of luster. There is some subtle peripheral toning more so on the reverse. I sent the coin to CAC and it was awarded a green sticker.

    Yup hard to tell, but I'm feeling 66 here.

    My pictures unfortunately are terrible and it’s very difficult to grade from them.

    From what I can see 65

    I'll say 65. It's a beauty but the left hand isn't as strong as you'd like. The reverse in unreal.

    I'll go with 66

    Typical weak SF hand, I'll guess 65+.

    65, based on the dings on the sun.

    Gotta, or should be, a 66 IMO

    The tic marks on the sun are now more apparent in the new photos, but the luster looks better.
    Staying pat at my 65 guess….

    I agree with Greg, 65.

    The V shaped dig on her face drops it down to a 65, but nice.

  • 1946Hamm1946Hamm Posts: 783 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'll agree with 65

    Have a good day, Gary

    Thanks for the feedback. I don’t collect WLH’s and aside from how beautiful the design is I know little about them. I think I bought this coin 25 years ago from David Lawrence and I submitted it to CAC a few years ago after rediscovering it in the SDB. I guess submitting it as a reconsideration is unrealistic based on the feedback. I’ll leave it alone but every time I look at it I still get goosebumps.

    Just missed the GTG... but guessed 66 on the first photo... That is one beautiful WLH. Cheers, RickO
