price of a 1944-S Walker ms66

coinsarefun

What would be the going price for this. I am not saying I want to sell it rather to get a idea on price. I have checked Ebay and Heritage but have not found too much. Can toning add to the price?

The spot is on the plastic(obverse)

I wish I had a similar coin. It would be nice to think you could get PCGS Price Guide money for it, but hell will freeze over before you do. Don't you expect?

Hey, thanks. I was not able to get the tract record like you did.
Were they toned or white? Do you think it adds to the price or not

Proclivity to sell is the problem.

From what I see, the toning on this coin would have a neutral effect on pricing. It looks like a coin with
nice, original skin, but at auction on any given day you may have buyers looking for white coins. I would
prefer this coin over dipped out white, but it doesn't look like it has toning that would be garner a premium.

Just my two cents - nice coin!

I think one out of the 4 was toned, but it was dark. You can look them up yourself at Heritage.com, but you have to register to use the archives. Registering is free, and I think you can opt out of the spam e-mails.

I agree with solid, the toning on your coin indicates originality, but not a toning premium. Nowadays you might get an "originality" premium, which probably means a fair price is at the high end of the recent closing prices.

I think that an original look can help with some buyers. But I would add that the strike on this coin is at least above average (hand, skirt lines), which should appeal to all.

So how much would a seller who consigned his $800+ walker to Heritage actually end up taking home after all is said and done? I'm almost ashamed to say that outfit is from my hometown. I'm sure they do some people good, but they turn me off in a bad way.

If all you have is the one coin you don't have a lot of negotiating power fro auction terms so you might walk away with 95% or about $760 on a $800 sale. Plus you have to wait quite awhile for your proceeds. Summer doesn't seem to be the best time to sell but who knows.

I'm building a set of those in MS so just send it to me. I'll hold it for you for about a hundred years or so.

" Can toning add to the price?"

Only to the neophytes and toner nuts... otherwise, for some, it is meaningless, and for others a 'turnoff'... Cheers, RickO
