Finally! A decently struck 41-S Walker for my collection

Had to get this one, the thumb is almost full AND the eagle's leg and breast has just about all the feathers. It's tough to find these with a good strike on both sides. Now to find a 40-S, 42-S and 44-S like this!

    That's a really nice one. When I collected the short set, I looked at quite a few PCGS MS65s looking for a good strike and never found one that fully struck.

    Good luck on the other three dates!

    In my experience, the 41-S can occasionally be found with a nice hand. Those other three- NOT.

    edit: Here is another. Yours looks to have a great reverse strike as well!

    Very nice. Those stupid 40's S-mints are a buggar with a full strike.

    Yepper, +1! The 40S is a disaster, overall probably the worst in the series.

    I rate the strike as exceptional and the coin overall as "all there". Congratsimage

    A small touch of rub on a typical 40-S and the coin immediately goes to VF. image
