Here's an NGC MS63 1946-S Walking Liberty I won in a raffle at my local coin club. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

I have an idea what held this to a 63, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

I am guessing a weak strike. Otherwise sure looks like a gem from here.
Yes, very nice.
Nice Walker. How many tickets did you purchase? I seem to get pretty lucky just buying 10.
Here's the last coin I won a while back... I always try to pick something I wouldn't otherwise purchase for my collection.

Thanks guys, glad you like it.
With regards to assorted questions, I would guess that the strike is what held it to a 63. There are some nicks and dings, but nothing major. I would not have been at all surprised to see the coin in a higher graded holder.
I purchased 20 tickets at a dollar a ticket. I also won a raw (MS65+) 1976-S silver Washington quarter. It was a good night.
MD, I can only see the "script" for your images, I can not see the images themselves.
U.S. Type Set
That is one of the coolest raffle prizes I have seen...always liked the toners!

Very cool.
I like it especially for what you paid!
Might come back in a 64 holder another trip in, but the 46-S comes way better struck than the other S mints of the decade.
Good looking coin.
What luck! Congrats, Skyman. It's lovely.

Dynamite photo. I wish I could capture true color like that.
Congrats!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Yup I do believe I would have like winning that to. Nice coin for sure
HAPPY COLLECTING
Very purdy coin
I'll pay $22 and shipping.
I like it!
Can't go wrong for $20, and if you don't win anything, you support the club.
Win-win.
Really a nice coin. Balanced toning.
Great coin!
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Score.!.!
Congratulations
That is a great prize.... I like the WLH's.... not so much the tarnish, but a nice win. Cheers, RickO
