    That's an excellent one Lloyd! When I first saw the colors I thought '47 mint set and then looked at the date. Very hard to get that date/mm looking like that.
  • Lloyd why don't you try to get this one image

  • Very nice. You dont see rainbows like that. Doesnt have the symmetry most would like but man the colors are there.

    I like the coin a lot. If that's not up to your quality, like some posters suggest, I'd like to see a coin that is. Toned walkers are not common.

    I do not like tarnished Walkers..... ruins the artistry of the coin. Cheers, RickO
  • If that tarnish doesn't get a CAC sticker, I don't know what will. They're squirrely enough to endorse that, no question about it.

    If it goes to CAC and they agree, are you going to like it more?
    If they don't agree, are you going to like it less?
    Will the value be different, even though it's the same coin?

    I was wondering why someone would bother to submit the coin to CAC. The color looks unquestionably original and I can't see what would be gained (monetarily, or with respect to peace of mind) from a CAC sticker.

    Good luck with CAC.

    Not my style of color, but WLH are beautiful coins nonetheless.

    I think it is a very pretty coin, but unlike coinguy1 I think the coin would at least benefit in possible liquidity with a CAC sticker as opposed to no sticker.

    Great looking original coin. To the ones who don't like it- show me a better toned one.

    Unique monster toned coins like that dont really gain anything from CAC. The coin stands on its own merits. A normal non toned run of the mill one yeah it may gain from being Caced. I think that is what Mark was saying if I may be so bold. image
  • RWBRWB Posts: 8,082
    Why does it have to go to CAC or ACA or CCA or ACC or any other place for a sticker? That will not change the coin.

    That's more or less what I was thinking. The extra value in that coin would be in the color. So, unless the color were questionable, I don't see how a CAC sticker would matter.

    That's right. And the folks who don't think that are overestimating the intelligence of the market. Today it's all about the holders and the stars and the plusses and the stickers and I hope I didn't miss anything, but, i.e., the endorsements, the packaging. Of course you don't want to tell that to these "collectors," because they'll remind you, they look at the coin!

    I like the coin as is.PCGS liked the coin to a 66 grade,its not a 67,but i am no grader,especially on Walkers.It is for sale via PM.EVERYONE HAPPY NOW?

    Bestclser1, FWIW, I zoomed it up on zoomFox, that's a legitimate, technical MS-66. It didn't get any help from that stunning tarnish, I'm saying...and, that bodes very well for it. Condition-wise, it's every bit a MS-66.

    I still don't agree with you, Mark.image The colors in the image look fine to me, too, but we both know that there is an enormous population of collectors who prefer or require PCGS certified coins especially when dealing with toned coins and I believe there is a newer, albeit smaller, population of collectors who now demand or prefer the CAC sticker on such coins. That smaller population improves the liquidity and perhaps the price, too.

    I think your answer would apply to the more sophisticated, seasoned numismatist who knows what he likes and understands the value of a nicely toned coin.
    The CAC sticker might appeal to the collector who doesn't always trust his instincts. Imagine a collector sitting on the fence and wondering; "I like it but I'm not sure if I should buy it, however, since both PCGS AND CAC give their seals of approval, then it must be spectacular."
