OK, it isn't a gorgeous 1921.
I'm lying.
I would be lying if I said that. Are you buying it? What's the grade?
Collector, occasional seller
65 and I'm old school grading.
Bet somebody was wanting to see a D mint mark.
I’m waiting for the seller’s answer.
It's nice but.....Honestly; I saw that coin and passed. Looks like it was re-toned after a dip. It's a 64 but I don't think that the luster is there. Decent strike. The toning is OK but nothing special. One has to wonder, if it's not a 63 that was re-submitted numerous times. It's in a newer holder. The asking price was modest for a 64, when I saw it, so that should tell you something. It's been on the market for a long while. I certainly don't think it's an upgrade candidate. That's just my opinion.

Guess I like it better than the graders did.
I can’t judge luster with PCGS images. Hardly even marks either. I know folks like them. Last few years I really try and not make too many buying decisions off the PCGS images.
Just my worthless opinion and I am sure I’m in the minority.
Outstanding eye appeal for a tough coin

Nice half
Very nice!

A looker for sure.
Yep-that's a purdy one!
Great coin!
I like it. But I'll bet JA doesn't.

Attractive with the kind of toning rarely seen on walkers.
I agree with Walkerfan, probably dipped and retoned.
I like it, but not so much as a 64.
Gorgeous Walker!
I'm curious, can someone school me on the signs showing it was dipped then retoned afterwards? I'd appreciate that!
Nice WLH.... several posts on Walkers today....Looking at them, I am getting the urge to add to my collection...That can be risky for me
I can get out of control if not very careful....Cheers, RickO
Love that coin! I'm a sucker for toning. I'm with Jayyk31 though...how can you guys tell it's "dipped" and "retoned" and how is that done?
Sometimes, for the novice like me, coins are like wine. I'll be enjoying what I think is a really nice glass of wine, until someone who knows about wine explains why it's really a crappy glass of wine, and makes me sad. Then again...I rarely pay much for a glass of wine

The "retoned" could be natural.
Part of the belief that it is "dipped and retoned" is probably (I shouldn't speak for them) partly due to the color itself.
The "dip", if visible, is usually seen as subdued luster - which can be hard to tell from photos. The luster change in a photo can appear as a color shift. [Or it could just be the white balance in the photo. LOL.] On other coins, not this one, the dip might present as luster differences around design elements or residual toning in crevices.
This coin looks like it MIGHT have been dipped at one time because of the color. But I am not in the camp of those thinking it was definitely dipped.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.
I will tell you no such thing! Very nice!

JM, thanks for the explanation. I think I know a LITTLE more about what everyone is talking about!
