    I am thinking your "Walking Liberty Half" would grade MS65

    Looks really squeaky clean...save for a bit of haze or possibly dip residue in upper right field.....I'll go 66/66+

    I agree with MS65.... Seems like a bit of chatter on Liberty's leg and the sun... Cheers, RickO

    The left hand concerns me, but I'm not an expert on Walkers. Nice coin though. Hard to tell from the photos.

    I think that is high. I might even say 66 but hard to tell on photos with my phone screen

    Best place to buy !

    I am with you and assigned my grade of 66/66+ but this is a piece I would like to see in hand to give a final opinion.
    Although I see no friction in the fields from the images provided, this is a piece that may show a hint of rub (most likely not "real" circulation wear) but could possibly be an AU58 on a bad day for the grading team.
    I'm sticking to my guns though and will give it a boxcar grade.

    If I had to guess, I'm in the MS65 camp.

    Looks really nice.

    I'm guessing 64 because of the slightly weak central obverse. (I usually undergrade)

    I took a long look at your pictures and made my guess/range ahead of reading the posts.

    67 - perhaps shot at 67+.

    Head is very full. Good separation at branch hand. Hip looks nice. Sun looks nice to me, too. I do see some chatter by the Y but the right field looks good otherwise. Pic looks like coin has potent luster. A very clean good looking half.

    Reverse looks very good, too. I see three areas of very minor noise on feathers. The feathers on the eagle's left leg are not as well developed as 41Ps can be.

    If I had to pick on the coin, I'd say it falls a little short in the strike dept.

    After looking at the other posts: I can understand the preponderance of 65/66 if the half was dipped.

    Nice half. Congratulations.

    I said 66+ but maybe 66 depending on how flashy it is in hand

    I’m impressed that it’s the standing variety.

    Other than perhaps some light haze obscuring some of the luster on the obverse, it looks like a pretty high grade example. Some of the experts here are guessing 66 or even higher, so no need for me to venture a grade.

    Nice gem; what usually keeps these back are field tics/chatter, more so than having a clear "sun" or needing a totally full strike..

    The luster looks great on this coin. Surprisingly it didn't grade higher. I have a feeling it would grade higher if sent in today. I'm not into the crack game. I love the older holders.

    Nice pickup! Glad that your going to leave it be in that OGH.....I would too.

    @Wabbit2313 has a 63 that is similarly undergraded in a white label old fattie.

    On the 1941, it would have to upgrade to a 66 to make it worth while sending in, and that is even questionable.

    Both slabs are awesome! My guess is MS65 and I would leave it in that old holder for sure!

    @Kyle has a similar looking MS63 in an NGC Fatty.

    Here's mine; It got a gold CAC sticker late last week (Don't have updated photos yet).
