    From one photo yada yada yada - but my first glance I was thinking you have one of the 68s! After looking and seeing the two small marks by the laurel and the noise between the sun's rays, I'll say 67+. The reverse is very nice. Beautiful half dollar.

    MS67 not enough room past the light reflection for a +, very nice and the hand looks pretty full also.

    As I have said, adding a + to a GTG is playing long odds, but you look good if correct.

    My guess is 66 and gorgeous. Coins with that 'look' that Ashland along with the coin that Coin Junkie posted tend to make me look past the posted grades. Much more attractive pieces imho than many of the gaga grades.

    Should that coin grade MS66 I believe a gold sticker would be earned.

    Gorgeous coin!

    The year comes really nice, they are well struck and have that lovely mint "bloom" in the field luster.. my favorite type example is a 43p which has all that, a few more marks than this one, but also some vibrant rim toning

    I'll guess 66, was at 67 but would prefer a mark free sun for that higher grade.

    PS: clever slab shot with the light reflecting over the grades! 👍

    I'll go 67. And the MS65 OGH posted looks like an easy 66 albeit with no reverse photo.

    Thanks. There is a mark on Liberty's neck and another just left of her skirt, but the luster is excellent. The reverse has the same look as the obverse without any marks. Was happy to drop $85 (out the door) on the coin, since I had sold all the WLHs in my collection several years ago. Everybody should own at least one! The green label holder made it a no-brainer purchase.

    The OP's coin appears to have even better luster than mine. Sorry to crash the thread, but couldn't get over the coincidence.

    Nice coin!!

    Common date superb gem (MS 67) Walkers have really come down.

    The Philly coins from 1941, 1942 &1943 were all over $1200 back in 2005-2006. Now, you can get them at around $350-400!

    Excellent buying opportunity IMHO.

    Only problem is that the pops have increased quite a bit.

    That was my thought. I felt that $300 was a pretty sweet deal! >:)

    For those who care....Here's my trio of superb gems (1941-1943 P).

    The 1941 is damn near perfect.

    Paid about $500 a piece for them 5 or so years ago.

    One is from eBay (although, I traced it back to an old Heritage auction), one is from Heritage and the other is from DLRC.
