Thoughts on my new Walker....***NGC 2.1 ALERT****

Won this one for what I thought was a strong price but in hand the toning is much nicer than I imagined so I am really glad I adjusted my max bid up 3 times image The fact that the holder did end up being the rare NGC 2.1 is icing on the cake fellow vintage holder weenie's image


Thoughts on the coins eye appeal and grade?.....no clue if this has any shot at upgrade but I think it's at least as advertised...MS66 image

    Nice!! Congrats! image
  • I like it. With regards to your upgrade remark, I agree with the grade on the holder; however, I do not think that it would upgrade. The toning seems to mute the luster on the obverse, and the luster isn't strong enough to warrant a MS67 on the reverse either in my opinion.

    I kinda like it. I believe there are enough hits to keep it at 66, and would like to see way more luster for any higher.
    How much for the coin? You can keep the holder and sell that separately. image

    I like the holder and the coin! I wonder if it was that colorful when first slabbed?

    That coin from a surfaces perspective is a full MS-67. Appears to be completely blemish free in the fields and no distracting bag marks in the devices.

    Agreed that the luster might hold it back to a MS-66. But then again the key word is MIGHT. It should probably garner at least a green CAC sticker. I would grade it 66.8, not quite a 67.

    This slab is an awesome NGC 2.1 slab with the gold foil on the inside of the slab, affixed to the white core. A keeper for sure!

    Nice coin! Those 2.1's seem to be much, much rarer than the Doily's! image

    Yea, I wanted that one too...but I only brought half a wallet so I got blown out. I suspected the eye appeal was going to be WAY above average and I'm glad to hear it was. Congratulations.

    Nice! Is that a hit on her hand or just a toned spot?
