    yes....how much better is anybody's guess at this point but I like taking chances like this and you can see some of the colors on the reverse so hopefully the Obverse looks the same image

    I think it will look beautiful in hand.
    The question is---how much is someone willing to spend for a common date, average grade walker with nice, but dark toning?
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Given the poor quality of the photos, it is anybody's guess as to what it will actually look like. Why take a chance?

    Looks like a pig -- avoid it.

    Let me take a stab at answering......life is all about taking risk and some of the best coins I own came from taking risks on Ebay and heritage only to be rewarded by getting a coin for far less than it's actual value. To date I have yet to take a chance and get a dog but you have to know what your doing when looking at bad images +....it certainly takes a measure of luck!!! image

    How did I do 50cents?

    I'm with Shane on taking a few risks, numismatically speaking.
    I have made my best scores on eBay from poorly imaged coins.
    This particular example would not make me take such a risk,
    but I'm sure there are others who will be all over it later today.

    I don't think it would look as good as the one you just got Shane.

    i thought about that one, but it seemed like a chance due to crappy pictures. i almost pulled the trigger so keep us posted and try to post new pics when you have it in hand. i have a feeling its worth the price.

    I think it will look pretty cool, I have a seated half with similar toning.

    I emailed the seller for a close-up on the obverse. I can't believe what the coin went for.
