This is a beautiful Walker in person... The fingerprint really jumps out in the photos though.

    I don’t mind it. It gives the coin some character. Thankfully the toning is attractive. Fingerprints plus ugly toning are less than desirable.

    Nice toning tho!

    We can only hope it was a finger.

    It’s basically the equivalent of a crime scene. Sell it, buy another that’s easier on the eyes

    I’d probably pass. It’s a little too noticeable. It might’ve happened while being pressed into a Whitman folder.

    Love the toning and state of preservation, though. Strike looks decent, as well.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    Obviously, a mint employee back in 45! 🤣 Nice rainbow toning, right for the sun! 🌞 👍

    Looks like it could use a dip.

    Would pass on something like that.

    I like it, to early to be in a mint set as those came out in 1947. It may have been pressed into a Whitman folder in the 60's and got that color that way.
