Picked up today at a local show (in 3 proof sets). Light haze on the halves will be removed later.

All three have an attractive look but that does not always translate into a high grade. There looks to possibly be an issue with hairlines. I don’t mind the haziness- others might see that as a negative. I do not see a grade higher than 65 and both Franklins are close to cam but likely fell alittle short.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Can't GTG but I will say I do like all three coins.
1939 PF64
1952 PF65
1951 PF64
Updated photos of the coins after a bath. The two Franklins look better. The Walker still has impaired fields.
IMO the coins would all grade a 65, one or two possibly even a 66.
The 1952 has a better chance of receiving a Cameo designation, as it has nicely mirrored fields. The fields on the 1951 are not as deeply mirrored as the fields on the 1952.
The Franklins have lots of die polish lines that should not affect the grades at all, but I am not a fan of the latent fingerprint on the WLH.

Mostly impossible to grade Proof coins from pictures - BUT they sure are beautiful!

True - you will never be able to "Un see" that!

Just a suggestion and not a complaint, but it would be best to post the images of each coin obv/rev to avoid confusion.
PR65 on the Franklins.
PR64 on the Walker.
