What do you think? Grade?

Bill - looks like a wonderful piece, but the picture is a little dark - can you tell us some of the highlights of the coin and some of the detractors if any?

Picture is to dark to tell

I gotta try again and take another picture. This piece is straight froman original roll never dipped. No hits I can see. Will post another image soon.

Dear cosmicdebris

Be still my Heart, is this a 1943 MS67 Walking Liberty Half Dollar?
I have decided that 2003 i was going to corner the market on this date in 67 grade and the 1941 also.
Pic is a tad dark

Bill,

I'll wait for an updated picture, but I can safely say that this appears to be at least MS66 (and a likely MS67).

Give us a better picture to see if we can give you a better grade.

Here are some better pictures.

I want to say 67 but that little ding on the sun scares me.

cosmicdebris · January 1, 2003 5:27AM

You're so right, I missed that ding before.

FC57Coins · January 1, 2003 5:27AM

WOW Bill - I agree with Kelso - doesn't get much better than that!!! Wonderful coin!

A very high-end MS66 (the reverse is probably a MS67 in that even the neck feathers are very strong).

cosmicdebris · January 1, 2003 6:52AM

MS66 even with the ding on the sun? Maybe I should send it in to get slabbed.

Fairlaneman · January 1, 2003 6:57AM

That is a Nice Coin. Looks to have a very nice strike and clean. Grade wise it sure looks 66 compared to the ones I have seen. Cool Coin. Thanks.

By all means this is a send in coin for sure. A true beauty if i ever saw one.

wallstreetman · January 1, 2003 7:54AM

66, that mark on the sun is a focal point, they are graded just like the Modern Eagles it seems!

wallstreetman · January 1, 2003 8:01AM

What will you show us next, a 69? If I didnt see the reverse and date, I would have thought you were shrinking Eagles!

stman · January 1, 2003 8:32AM

Nice looking Walker, with a good strike. I see what appears to be a dig on liberty's right breast. A couple frost breaks obv right field and a hit on liberty's belly. I would call this a 66. If that's a dig on liberty's right breast it bothers me more than the one on the sun. Even though I see these all the time with such marks. Nice looking coin though.

cosmicdebris · January 1, 2003 8:11PM

Here are some closeups of the dings you guys have pointed out. I hope you guys still think it will make MS66 with them. If so I am goin gto deffinately send it in. By the way I only paid $30.00 for it.

hughesm1 · January 1, 2003 8:17PM

Those dings are a bit too detracting to qualify this coin for anything higher than 65, but the lustre is exceptional. MS65

BigD5 · January 1, 2003 8:32PM

The strike seems superior, as well as the luster. There are more than a few marks in the focus areas. Looks like it should still 6.
Heck, for $30 I'm not sure if it matters

Nice coin.
