I'm not allowed to guess, as I got a sneak preview via PM for an opinion on this one I will say that the coin is very solid for the assigned grade, with a good shot at an upgrade, IMO (gold sticker).
MS63. Just a guess from those pics---hard to evaluate the luster.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I had a friend who attended the Boston ANA look at this in the Heritage auction. He doesn't know Walkers but he said he really liked it, and the lustre looked excellent to him. I'm eager to get it in hand.
I had to pay through the nose to get it, though, because I suspect that someone else noticed what I did:
It's the tough D/D FS-501 that the Cherrypicker's Guide says, "This dramatic RPM has yet to yield many specimens." That's for sure. So far PCGS has graded only one.

Edited to add that i love it!

Pretty good strike, nice head, not much noise on her hip, only one real/worrisome ding in right field, clean reverse, decent detail in eagle's leg.
The pebbled/medallic fields do look great on those first issues.
Very nice piece.

MS63, and I wish it was mine!
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
