Currently in a PCGS Slab - Feel free to GTG.

Thanks @FadeToBlack for the pictures.

Edit to add grade-:

I knew this would make for an interesting GTG. I'm sure most of you would agree that this is an extremely conservative grade.

    Nice patina on that one!

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    MS66.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My first look said 66...then I studied it... and except for some (appears to be) rub on the knee, I still say 66... Cheers, RickO

    Two hits in the right obverse field should keep it below 66.
    I would grade it 64+, but the color may have nudged it up to a full 65.

    Thanks for all your guesses so far - I will give a small hint and say that nobody has guessed the grade correctly yet.

    My second guess is going to go the other way. AU58 or MS62. Images are too dark to see if that is circulation rub on the old girls leg.

    In that holder and based on your new images, I say it's in a 64 and should be in a 66. That luster is LOVELY!

    1. If not, it deserves that grade.

    I'll reveal the grade in about 12 hours, which should leave some time for a few more people to make their guess.

  • DollarAfterDollarDollarAfterDollar Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭✭✭

    MS 64 at the very most. MS 63 wouldn't be a shock.

    '42 Walkers come pretty nice. From the first photo, I'd say easy 65 shot at 66, but from the larger images, I'm thinking ms62.

    Looking at your 2nd pics, are the rubs on miss liberty's knee and breast that significant? I see a little scuffage in the right field now, but 58? would have thought more like 63.
    Gonna crack?

    Nah, this one is going to CAC in a group sub - I'll hope for a gold.

    Too much rub that can easily be seen in the second pictures and the field abrasions in the first one tells a lot too. Great looking coin in my opinion but not mint state.
