    Morris,

    You should warn the poor dialuppers on scans that size. Beautiful coins, though!image

  • Beautiful coins, great strike on the Walker. I say the Walker is a MS66.

    That walker is NICE! Almost looks like a modern SAE. I'll go with MS66/MS67 for eye appeal.

    Nice pictures, I'd say the Walker is a 64, maybe 63. mdwoods

  • Nice pics, tell us how. Is the walker AT'ed? or environemental?

    Okay, I use the nikon coolpix 995 with that dome thing that focuses the light. I like using natural light on the coins, as I feel it gives the best impression and no pink shading occurs. But the key was that you need to use alot of natural light...I was doing pics inside sort of in the area of a window, but then took it to my kitchen directly under a window, and then eventually outside and bam!

    Okay, on the walker, would you believe me if I said it graded ms67...what about au58?!?!

    It looks better than my Walker I just bought.

    So I would have to guess MS66.
  • Morris:

    Were did you buy the dome. I have been looking for one for my 995 and can't find them anywhere.

  • Charlie,
    Do a search on google for a cloud dome. Shylock was generous enough to GIVE me his to play around with and let me keep it. Its a pain the the butt to use sometimes but it does help out the lighting situation big time. Still, my photos are nowhere near what Pauls come out looking like.
