This is a difficult coin to get right for some reason. These shots come reasonably close - I will try to shoot a few under the Reveal lights tonight. Feel free to take a shot on the grade. It's in PCGS plastic.

These two were taken using daylight. Even though I adjusted the color balance, these have a light blue cast that should be more silver than blue.

This I just shot using Reveal bulbs, again, after having adjusted the color balance. Here, the cast is more yellow/tan than it should be. But, you get a pretty good idea of how the coin has toned.

Finally, the grade.

    nice... I bet it is terrific in hand. I think 65 minimum. The center around the hand is alittle soft and distracting but that is typical for this date. I like it.

    edited to 65 only

    64 maybe a shot at 65, but the small hits around the sun rays might keep it in a 64. Beautiful Walker though...........Rick

    I would have said 62/63... may be the picture... looks like a lot of rub on both the obverse and the reverse... I suppose it could be a weak strike... but sure looks like rub.. I am surprised by the grade... so I would imagine it looks far better in hand. Cheers, RickO

    Longacre, look at the picture - it's got a sticker on the backside of the slab. image

    I'm afraid that it is my photography that gets no sticker tonight. image

    Is that a scratch across the eagle?

    In the first image it looks raised, like it was part of the die.

    Last attempt. TDN, it's not a scratch. It is raised metal. This shot is (maybe) the best of the lot but I'm still having lighting/exposure issues with this coin. It would be great to see a shot or two from Mark or Mike. Oh well.

    A few of my Walkers have die cracks running vertically through the eagle's breast. (My 39S has it from the crest of the right wing all the way down to the left claw.)

    I actually like how this thread shows how unreliable photos are for grading. Without trying to do anything on the sly, the OP shot what may as well be three different coins; each photo shows flaws that are unseen in the others. The viewer must wonder how truly apparent these marks are in hand.

    I think this 45S looks typically graded, and is actually very well struck on Liberty's head. I would give it serious consideration for my set. So if you're bummed out by all the low grade estimates and want to sell, Mesquite, feel free to PM me. image

    j/k -- thanks for sharing a nicely toned gem.
