    1. Very clean in all the right places (sun, Liberty’s face, right obverse field).

    Obverse better than reverse. I could see 67. Edit: Watched the video and was impressed. Could exceed 67.

    67 seems reasonable

    Quite an attractive Walker. Clean fields overall, with a slightly weaker hand area. Wouldn’t surprise me to see a 67 grade.

  • JBNJBN Posts: 1,851 ✭✭✭✭✭

    67+. The fields are wonderful. If it is very lustrous - 68.

    67, I can’t find any disqualifying defects in those pics. She’s a beaut!

    My take is 67+. Super nice!

    Edit: Hmmm.....is it in an OGH? If so, I'm going to reduce to 67.

    There's no hiding anything in a @FlyingAl photo. For a coin to stand up in one of his photos, it has to be exceptionally nice....My experience from having most of my coins shot by him. Every nuance shows, every tiny little nick, every hairline is on full display.

    I'll go ahead and grade this MS68. It's got it all. Strike, no contact marks and superior luster.
    I'm probably wrong but that's how much I like it and that's what it looks like to me.

    Beautiful coin.

    I have no clue how MS Walkers are graded.

    In 2022 I had this MS 1940 P Walker graded by our host. It straight graded at a grade lower than I thought it would be. Do not look it up and tell me what grade you would give to this coin (it will be interesting to see how grade opinions given in this thread of the two half dollars compare).

    I have a beautiful 66, but the op's coin,even with the microporosity is gorgeous. Maybe just the large photo. I would say MS67.

    In an older PCGS holder I would guess either MS-66 or MS-67 with CAC sticker. With a newer PCGS holder would guess
    MS-67+ with a possible CAC sticker. Only the strike is a slight negative.

    On the second walker I would guess PCGS MS-65 or 65+ with green CAC sticker. Nicer strike but grade limiting bagmarks in the fields.

    Grade on this one is a 67. It's an OGH, and I can't imagine it has been to CAC.

    Beautiful Walker. Bet it looks fantastic in hand and in the OGH holder too!

    The Walker I posted graded MS64. I thought it would grade MS65.

    Your walker looks very photogenic and the only thing that could downgrade this coin to MS-64 is the diminished luster which cannot be viewed via a photo only in person.
