My new Walker. Opinions?

sparky64sparky64 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭✭✭
Always wanted a nice Walker for my Type collection. This is what I chose.
I'm not versed in any particular series.

From what I've read on these, strike can be key, so I was looking for a well struck example. Left hand, head, skirt, feathers, etc.

In my opinion it's very nice for the grade. I like the brilliance as well as the slight rim toning.
What say you?

These are auction pics. (There is no doubling as it may appear.)

  • Very NICE! Bold strike, great luster and eye-appeal. Coin is a 64 all day long in anyone's holder.

    1943 Phillys are well struck and this one is no exception. I like the old fat white NGC slab rim toning, too. It also looks clean and lustrous. Nice coin!

    << <i>My eye says quite nice for a 4. It's gotta be an older holder right? Can we see pics? >>


    .......and that brings up an issue.
    The slab is slightly cracked on the upper right corner .
    Maybe you can tell by the discoloring in the pic.
    Almost like it was dropped at some point. All seems to be tight and intact.
    Not a big deal right?

    I wouldn't be bothered by it, as long as it is still in one piece and secure.

    Nice coin...and that crack should not be a problem - though, the longer you look at it, the more it will bother you..image...Cheers, RickO

    Beautiful coin . . . I love it when Liberty has a thumb.
    If this were a GTG I'd say 65 all day long ! ! !

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Thanks for the opinions & compliments..

    Some things do bother me and I can't shake it but this doesn't at all, thankfully.

    If it were an expensive key of super high grade, I might consider reholdering.
    But for what this coin is...I'm good with it.
