Here Is A Walking Liberty Half I find quite pleasing *Grade posted*

I really like this one. Very nice eye-appealing color, luster, and surfaces, in my opinion of course. I usually don't mention who I bought a
coin off of when/if I post one. But Steve from PQ Dollars did jump through a couple hoops to help make this happen. He's always been great to deal
with whether buying or selling. One thing I really like about this one is it is very solid for the assigned grade and doesn't appear to be bumped up
for the color/eye-appeal. That said, what did it grade? Should be pretty straight forward.

    Steve is great. My grade guess would be cheating. Very attractive piece.

    I see zero reason why it's not a 67. Steve is a great guy and this year and mint mark also comes great..........MJ

    This looks like a possible 67 based on lack of bag marks and lack of abrasion in the fields except:

    (1) Liberty's breast and her chest either shows toning or a slight high point rub.
    (2) Can't tell if there is a full split thumb
    (3) the stars look weak in the flowing flag

    If I had to guess, I would vote 66. It would sticker at 66 too.

    As always, hard to grade MS coins from a photo....heck, they can be hard to grade in hand, also image
    That said, my swag is MS66, as I see only tiny traces of contact marks on the sun, a possible slight pin scratch above the sun, otherwise
    super clean with what appears to be excellent luster.

    Gorgeous coin. Congrats on the purchase.

    I have no idea what grade the coin received and will guess MS66. In any event I would love to have that coin in my collection.

    Now that's nice! Is it really that golden in hand? How's the luster?

    Looks like a darn nice coin and I agree that it is nice to give a shout out to those who do something extra to help.

    Very nice,looks like a solid 66 to me.Of course,we all should know that grading from pics without seeing luster,pop,and flash can not be done as accurately as many would have us believe.image

    Excellent eye appeal.....I don't see anything in the photos that would preclude that coin from grading MS67.

  • I'd say 66.

    For those that have wondered about luster, it does have very nice eye-appealing luster that cartwheels very nicely. I like how it glows through the clean fields, as well as the rest of the coin. Thanks for the comments.

    The coin is in a PCGS holder graded MS67. It also went through the sticker mill and got a green thingy.

    was going to guess AU58, AT, and "is that a fingerprint?" but realized it's hard to tell in hand appearance from a scan

    Very nice... I would not have thought 67 from the picture. I am sure that in hand, it is solid. Cheers, RickO
