    I'm not sure if that's blue toning or just the lighting, but it makes it hard to grade. I'm going to guess a grade of MS64.

    Does that scan represent the actual color? Yum, yum!

    The Slab better say 67 at least. Nice Coin. Looks to have a couple of ticks in the upper right obverse field but thats all. Do not know a whole lot about Walker Strikes but that sure looks struck up to me. Thanks for the Pictures.

    Prize?

    Oh when I do one of those agonizing 2 or 3 day grading contests then I will do a real prize!image

    Now here is some more info.......

    I will give you a hint.

    The coin is NOT a MS-67 since it does have tics in the fields which by technical grading standards preclude a MS-67. The coin is not expensive enough to warrant market grading.

    It was also graded by NGC.

    Last, is only one of the posters here has gotten the answer right so far. Who was that poster and what is the grade?

    Ticks takes a coin out of the 67 Grade. Hmmm you fooled me on that. Guess it Fooled the PCGS folks also on the MS67 45P Merc here.

    I wish all my MS64 Walkers looked like that.

    Fairlaneman:

    Fairlaneman: That 45P dime has no ticks in the fields. When that is the case, it can still qiualify for a 67 grade. That dime has ticks in the devices which does not prevent it from being a 67 as long as they are not more than a couple or in a prominent area. This is a borderline 66/67 coin as those ticks are numerous and in a non protected (obvious) area of the reverse.

    Im surprised that this coin would only rate an MS64 - I'm with Russ - I wish all MS64's looked like that!

    I'm getting pretty good at grading these Walkers. I only have a years experience in them. Those marks in the right field on the obverse, in my opinion, wouldn't let it go over 65.

    I bought this coin and another one just like it for $45 each.

    I hope they are as nice as they appear.

    I bought that walker for $45.00 But pics can deceive and I will withhold judgement.

    It was an ebay lot of two walkers and bought them both. After the sale ended with no bidders.
