Another 1916 walker found in the wild

This will likely be my final upgrade as I really like this one. Found in the wild which is my favorite way to find them. Very nice and original looking skin with some color, especially on the reverse. There is some blue buried in the olive branches and nice color around the obverse devices.

Feel free to GTG if you want. Here is the link if you want to cheat and/or look at the max size trueview.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    That's a very attractive Walker-maybe a 64?

    Like how the toning brings out the details, especially on the eagle feathers.

    Amazing. Did you find it in a box of bank rolls or from a customer roll?

    Looks like rusty orange gold like what was on the $10 Indian that someone also posted today. Nice

    That is a great find. While I am not a fan of tarnish, the condition of the coin is great for 102 years old. Cheers, RickO

    Beautiful. Wish all my silver looked like that. Great example, for sure.

    It's tough to get near gem grades like that on coins that were raw as I assume that was what you meant.

    I bought a lustrous one once from a dealer who thought it was a lock 64, but after it came back a 63 I did not resubmit.

    I thought it just meant raw, maybe you are right though.

    A superb walker and you do have a refined eye for these too.
    👍🏻👍🏻

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
