I've been living a lie... Another upgrade to my Walker set - 1947 D with nice gunmetal toning

Yep, I've got to come clean...

My 1947-D Walker being replaced by this one is in a MS 63 PCGS holder with a mechanical error, it's really a 1947-P with a 1947-D label. I couldn't live with the lie anymore LOL :D

GTG on this new upgrade if you'd like. I'm still working on some other upgrades for my late date set, and early date set as well. I went with this as an upgrade as I like the how I describe as a "gunmetal" look to the peripheral toning and a deep luster overall.

    Haha, yeah I think the mechanical error would bother me as well!

    That coin has a nice look and the luster shows in the pic. I'm guessing the orange hues are just the lighting. Otherwise, a clean coin with some slight contact marks on the leg and sun and a pretty clean reverse. I'd guess it as a MS66.

    I like gun. metal coloration and it seems to swirl/mix with gold toning. Lots of visual interest!

    If my gun metal looked like that I would be worried... :D;) Definitely not a condition I would like on my guns. On a coin though... Well, someone will pay a premium for that one. Cheers, RickO
