Need Help grading 1938-D Walker

Sorry, folks,

I finally got the pictures to post. I would appreciate some help on grading this walker. I don't have much contact with these coins as I don't collect them. I figure you experts could do a much better job.

Thanks

I'll guess and say its a strong red x.

DCAMFranklin · February 9, 2003 3:39AM

2 Red X's!

LucyBop · February 9, 2003 3:40AM

correct.. both sharply struck.

The reverse X looks to be a little suspicious, i'd avoid it.

ClausUrch · February 9, 2003 3:57AM

I agree, Catch, the rev. X red toning seems not to blend in to well with the rest of the white color and may very well be AT!

LucyBop · February 9, 2003 4:00AM

You two have got to be kidding, the rev red x is fine and is a very strong strike!

MX-70 RD...

You are right Lucy it does have a strong strike but how could this be if this perticular box with a red "X" in it, was notorius for having very weak strikes? I'll tell you why, its a counterfiet! The diagnostics are all wrong. Cant fool me mrcommem you counterfieter you.

ClausUrch · February 9, 2003 4:18AM

Yes, Klector, but the 53X with the notoriously weak strike was the D mint mark. This 53X, upon 10X magnification, is actually the R-7 VAM-A-BAMA 53X-S; the missing S Variety!!!

KlectorKid · February 9, 2003 5:12AM

Very sorry, my mistake, thanks for the correction.

Draco · February 9, 2003 5:23AM

I'd say 53

KlectorKid · February 9, 2003 5:35AM

XF-45, whats the yellow stuff in her hand though?

hughesm1 · February 9, 2003 5:37AM

VF30 at best

Geoman · February 9, 2003 5:52AM

Not enough for XF, but better than a low-end VF, so I would have to say VF-30.

DCAMFranklin · February 9, 2003 5:53AM

Awful lot of wear on the breast and head, though the skirt lines are mostly bold. I'd say VF-20, best case VF-30.

morganbarber · February 9, 2003 5:58AM

I think that the coin is easily F, probaly VF, but not XF on a good day.
