    Curious why you say this for the top coin? I see nothing to say otherwise.

    There is very visible wear, even to the untrained eye. This is not my series, not close, and the wear on Liberty's left hand on the top coin, moreso on the second coin, with wear on the breast and hand, for starters.

    Does the OP want the forum to grade all his raw Walkers?

    I'll come up with something.

    This was a grading experiment, and I have to admit the 2nd coin looks better the second go around next to the top coin, and Id bet the top coin would look even better next to a few 66s image get the hint

    Top coin looks like it could be a 63 or 64 just by the images alone but the bottom coin has wear and I'd call it a 58.

    Okay, thanks...walkers are not my series and was trying to learn. I still don't see the wear, I have more education to do.

    Referring back to the first pair as he is showing one of the coins in both groups.

    BTW grade number one in this post as over exposed and slightly weak on the focus.

    Albeit it's a tad over exposed, making it even tougher to grade from the photo, but I'm betting the top coin is
    not only MS, but probably at or near the gem level.
    The bottom coin appears to be ~AU53.

    Top - 65

    Bottom - 55-58 . . . or a very light strike, probably dipped. Can't tell without the coin in-hand.

    Just my WAG . . .

    HH

    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!

    A mint state '46P DDR walking lib half not is worth grading? XF's have sold for ~$100.
    I don't even see records at Heritage for an Unc DDR half.

    The OP didn't ask if they should professionally grade them. The asked our opinion on the grade.

    thx guyz I wanted to test the waters on my grades and also after watching a show some nights ago on how our brains are prepped in saying one way or another I wanted to do an experiment.
    I've always wondered why if I send a coin that looks MS65 to grade it ends up being a 65 but If I send it with a batch of 6 identical coins, that very coin ends up being a 64 because it may have been on the lower end and the others were definitely 65s but better shape ( as in 65A or +)

    ...thus swinging it to the 64( when it in fact may have been a 65c) And the same goes with if I sent that coin in with some dog graded coins, it just might make a 64, because the graders eyes are being swayed towards lower grades.

    Here I posted the same bottom coin in (2) threads and it looks better in the second thread following the higher graded coin, (then had it following the lower graded coin) but it didn't matter too much since most of you saw it once before already and formed an opinion already.

    Thanks

    64 IMO the mark on the neck will keep it from 65, since it is in a prime focal area.
