1941 s walker in an ngc ms66 holder and is a very nice 66+ coin in anyones holder!
this coin is weakly struck as were most all S mint walkers in the 1940's but this coin has an above average strike with some weakness to miss liberty's left arm and the eagle's front left leg as it is common for all coins of this date! usually walkers dated 41 s are much more weakly struck then this coin!
this coin overall is a superb gem coin but what makes this coin really exceptional and in a class all of its own is the monster rainbow of colors on both sides of this coin giving this coin EXCEPTIONAL EYE APPEAL
also the centers of the coin on both sides is a satiny lustre that booms from this coin and through the toning but not blasting as this coin has a fully original skin which means this coin was never dipped cleaned or otherwise molested since it was struck
my guesstimate is that this coin was plucked from a roll of walkers or obtained from a bank at the time of issue in 1941 and put into an album for many years and just left this way and developed this toning since 1941!
there is no rub or roll friction on this coin at all! the off white skin on the coin and the light tone the semi crusty look of this coin in the untoned areas just makes this coin scream of originality.
also for toning like this it takes many more years than if the coin was dipped blast white as then the (secondary) toning process is faster and not as pretty along with the white parts of the coin having a loss of lustre and "look" of a fully original coin.
to me this coin as a superb gem 41 s and combined with the toning it is a MONSTER!! and one of the finest if not the finest eye appealling toned 41 s walkers in gem/superb gem mintstate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this coin resides in an eastern collection and the above comments are my own as i have examined this coin in person

also heavy copper i have seen 41 s walkers in pcgs ms67 holders with just a whisper of a better stiek but still weak now as for the prices i really do not know but to me the 41s is still underpriced as the others you mentioned are way underpriced now even if the 41s is fully priced waht makes this coin really super rare is the original white skin undipped surfaces and mostly the monster super rare colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is what may make this coin unique or semi unique and to me one of the finest if not the finest graded in 66 at both services and valuewise i would rather have this monster rainbow 66 walker then any 67 coin!! valuewise now i think the 67 coins are great and solidly priced and do have room to move up if the coin is all there the 67 coins are great values for me but this 66 looking like this is to me a more greater better value!
but i do see waht you are talking aboyt and for me these coins are graded differently than a common p mint walker that usually comes fully struck!
just like a porous large cent that grades fine by the grading services with some edge bumps a pre 1800 large cent that is acdceptable but not so for a lincoln cent from the 1950's as then it would be a damaged worthless coin!
