    great luster, decent strike, very few marks, I like it as a 65.

    I would have to say around MS65.

    MS65, might have gone MS66, though. Nice luster and a pretty good strike for an S mint.

    Beautiful Walker!

    I'd think it's a 66, or even a 67, but Walkers seem to get a rough time of it grading-wise, so it might only be a 63 or 64.

    I know if I submitted it, it would come back as a 62........ image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Poor gal's head looks as though someone used her as a worry stone. Could be just the lighting though.
    With the rub-a-dub-dub, MS62.
    Nice flurry of light going there though! image

    Matters not, because I'm way off and it's "just for fun" anyway.

    OK all, it's graded MS-65 by PCGS (green holder). There are no marks on the coin at all. I know it's a tired phrase, but the coin looks better in person (and it's tough to grade from an image). No real marks to speak of and some have mentioned it has a good shot at 66. Thanks for your opinions.

    I agree. I have resubmitted MS65 green labels to PCGS and had them upgraded to MS66. I don't know if it can make 67 -- I would need a second angle shot for the obverse and reverse to make a better guess at that. Is it full-hand? Is there a nick on the eagle's belly? That sort of thing.

    I am not a believer in the crack out game, but I tend to think 66 is the right grade for this coin.

    66 but only due to strike. The luster and marks make me thing higher but the strike just in not what I would want in a 67.

    I had not read the real grade when I siad 66... I would crack that sucka. there is no way you will get 64 so just do it. image

    I didn't crack it out before resubmitting it.

    That's one solid MS 65. I thought it'd go to a 66.
