  Is that a Heritage picture? I'd guess MS65/66, but no way to really be sure from the picture.

  From my experience with PCGS.....AU-58, no full gown lines on the leg, weak strike or rub on the hand & oak branch????, Hit on the right field ...if it is BU, would probrably keepit to a 64. Reverse looks good with either a weak strike on the breast feathers that could be interrpreted as that or wear to go with what I said about the obverse................jmoho.....nice coin....................Rick

  The pictures are so big it shows every little flaw. Probably the best head detail I have seen in some time. The one hit(appears to be) above "In God We Trust" is the sole thing I see that could drop this walker from a high grade. The small marks on Liberty's leg don't bother me. Left hand detail is acceptable. The eagle's breast detail is great and not a mark on the reverse. I dropped the size down a bit and it's a nice looking walker. I still say 66, but I've never owned a 67.

  Oops, missed the hit on the right before... Change to 64

  Is that a hit over IN or a die gouge? It looks raised on my screen. Also looks like one or two small die scratches below one of the rays.
  
  It's a beauty!

  What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

  I revise my thoughts and say this is 1 of the 95 PCGS graded MS67 '45D walkers.

  Thanks for your input everyone, it was interesting to see the range of opinions. This one happens to be in a PCGS 66 slab, but I didn't really care because in my opinion it has far more eye appeal than my 67's.
  
  BTW Barry, you have some sweet Walkers from what I can see...
