i thought there was not santy in numismatics...

did you take those photos?

those fields look non-67ish and I would just like to know if the photo is really representitive of the actual coin

Russ · September 29, 2007 9:38AM

<< those fields look non-67ish >>

Huh?

Looks very nice- I don't think the slight cloudiness in the obverse fields would keep it from a 67 grade based on that picture..

pontiacinf · September 29, 2007 9:44AM

um, lets try this again

the (hairlines, metal flow lines, chatter or what ever it is) in the fields makes it look to me cheesey for the grade, so I asked if the pic is actually what it looks like in hand.

<< I don't think the slight cloudiness in the obverse fields would keep it from a 67 grade based on that picture >>

It's not cloudiness, it's reflection off the mirrors. The coin is competely haze-free and spot-free. In fact, it's just about the cleanest proof Walker I've ever seen.

There is no hairlines or chatter. Nothing but natural mint frost, or flow lines, which does not effect grade.

well that must one nice walker.

don't use those pics if you ever go to sell it

pontiacinf · September 29, 2007 9:52AM

one more question

what kept it from CAM, the areas of the sun and/or the perch on the rev?

Russ · September 29, 2007 10:27AM

Shot diffused to remove reflections from the fields:

Walkers! I didn't know you fancied them. I always pegged you for a Kennedy man myself.

Barbercoin · September 29, 2007 10:30AM

Much better!!

etexmike · September 29, 2007 10:38AM

The 2nd set of pics help to show just what a great Walker that really is.

Damn thats nice!!

Russ · September 29, 2007 10:44AM

The problem with the second set, though, is that it makes the coin appear more contrasted than it actually is. There's something about the Walker design that makes the devices appear too white with diffused lighting. The actual contrast is about half way between the two sets of images. The coin is very close to cameo, but not quite.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I love Walkers, always have. If I had the money to spend, I'd have a set of proofs that all looked like this one.
