OK Walker guys, and gals if you are out there...Grade this early date Walker. Extra credit if you nail grade and presence of CAC sticker.

    Did not know there existed PL Walkers, but here is one. Without coin in hand to rotate in light to find a limiting factor not visually apparent in this photo. I would say MS67PL and yes to CAC.

    I’ll go with 66+, as well.
    No guess on a sticker, as I don’t like to guess, based on a guess (of grade). Said another way, I prefer not to guess whether a coin has stickered unless I know the assigned grade.

    MS 66 CAC!!

    I love the luster on that piece. It reminds me of my 1921D.

    I'm in the 66 crowd as well. There is a huge price jump between a 66 and 67.

    I wish I had images of this one!

    Having seen it in hand, I will say it is fantastic. I truly don't remember the actual grade, but will refrain from guessing so as not to spoil the fun.

    Wow, had to put my sunglasses on for that one. Really nice looking coin that at minimum should be a 66.

    I would grade it 68 based on the holder and the image but I’ll stick with the above.

    **It's a NGC MS-66 CAC **

    OK, almost everyone here graded this one accurately at 66. Special call out goes to @TPRC @rnkmyer1 @Walkerfan and @Walkerguy21D for nailing grade and sticker. And thanks to all who called it 66+ and above. ;)

    The early Walkers are really cool coins.

    Show your Early Walkers if you have some...I'd love to see them.

  • Eldorado9Eldorado9 Posts: 2,287 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @TomB Now THAT is a hell of an early Walker. Visually just stunning. A++++

  • CopperindianCopperindian Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Eldorado9: thanks! I’m trying to put together a set of the 20 early Walkers (1916-1921). 9 down, 11 to go! Tough road!

    Very tough road. The early Walkers seem non-existent in dealer's inventories, GC, and even the major auctions these days. Those coins come one-by one, and slowly! Especially if you are picky about grade, luster, strike, color!

    What a beautiful coin! My thought was 66 CAC before I saw the reveal. I see that Gerry Fortin (GFRC) has an auction coming up this month with some higher grade early Walkers.

  • breakdownbreakdown Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭✭✭

    ElDorado - nice coin! I guessed after you did the reveal but I wanted to do it without checking what others said (including you!)
    1917 is a special date for me. It was one of the finest two or three in my set. It’s still the only stickered 67 for that date. The purchaser promptly cracked it, presumably to try for a +.

    Many posters graded the coin 66 or higher and both NGC and CAC graded it 66. You should consider the possibility that you under-graded it as a 65.

    I grade it as gem uncirculated. A grade number simply adds to the considerable confusion we are seeing here. Better than choice uncirculated but doesn't appear to be "superb" to me since some weakness of strike is seen on the eagle's leg. Very nice coin. I would put one of my Avery label green stars on it's holder.
