    You are doing a fine job of illustrating why VF and EF Walkers sell for less because of coins like this...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • It seems to me that Walkers have been getting a lot of leeway with the strikes. I remember recently a poster posting a Walker that got an MS grade that, going by appearances, it didn't warrant, in my view. I think this is another case of that.
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Dipped circulated Walkers look so awful. image
    When in doubt, don't.

    And the carbon spots don't help either. Rare date that I would really like to have in about that grade, but passing on the POS.

    You lead me to a really nice VF30 just a little older.

    I think this one is truelly graded or even a bit undergraded.
  • If thats a VF- then I'm sending in all my raws- which have way more detail than this one.
    and I do have a 28-s

    that is just plain silly- it had to be a fix to get that grade
    had to.

    That 1928-s Walker was whizzed... "low-end" for the grade to say the least

    " That 1928-s Walker was whizzed..."

    Not whizzed, but does look dipped, and overgraded by about 10 points IMO.

    Even PCGS makes a mistake once in awhile.image
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Can't tell without it in hand, but I'll wager that coin was more than just dipped. I see abrasive cleaning all the way here. Polished, whizzed -- say what you will, but that thing has had mechanical interference!

    They do make it into holders, you know, especially if the hairlines are too small to escape naked-eye pickup.

    Absolutely a nauseating coin.

    imo the 28s walker is both cleaned and the black mark make it not possible to grade the coin vf, the details may be barely vf but it should not be in a legitimate tpg holder as such, a grader was asleep when that one slipped through.
