    Lucy thinks that Walker has enough eye appeal to blow my skirt up and make my knees wiggle. Pretty coin!

    Russ,
    Looks like a decent 64. Luster looks strong and I agree that the strike is a bit weak, especially the reverse. Pretty coin overall and a better strike could have kicked it to a 65 IMO.

  • Looks like a nice piece for the grade Russ - head looks a little flat, and I can't tell if that's a ding on the rim on the obverse by the Y of Liberty.

    Blade,

    The luster is what I look for in these. I'm building in MS64 and so many in that grade have been dipped to flatness, it's hard to find them with a lot of luster left.

    Lucy,

    Reading your post I felt strange, and somewhat foreign sensation that I haven't experienced in a while.image

    Is that a big rim ding at 3 oclock by the Y? image
    Looks like a few carbon spots in the eagles wings it's a teletrade picture so it might not even be the right coin image
  • Weak strike. Nice luster.

    The liberty's head is either showing a rub(not good) or it is flat.

    Solid 64 if there is no rub on the obverse.

  • That's a sweet one, Russ. Looks like it would glow in the dark!

    I'm glad you got it... I didn't want you to be jealous when I posted this:

    Clark,

    I like yours. What it lacks in luster, it makes up for in character.image

  • They don't make them like that anymore! image
  • I just spent the last 10 minutes staring at that '45s. All I can say is... if the luster looks like that in person, the heck with spots, rubs or anything else. I like it!
