I agree with bruceswar. could be AU-58 or a 63. Weak strikes are definately normal on San Fran examples of the 40's. Weakness in strike usually appears on the center skirt lines, the left hand and head detail............my 2 cents worth........Rick

AU58. Rub with color shift at the high points on the Miss Liberty's breasts and where her arm, the flag, and the leaves meet. Rub on the high points of the eagle where the wing and breast meet, with slight color shift.
Without the rub it would be a 64, but I must stand by my AU assessment.
I guess I'll look the fool, my guess is based on the marks hopefully being on the holder, 41S's always show weak strike, would not be suprised if it was a 64/65.
AU 50. 55 tops, on a good day. Not even worth submitting, IMO.
If not, I've been continually ripped by the graders at a familiar TPG service.
Weak strike is typical and this one is very weak.
This has serious bag marks and broken rays and the TPGs are tough on these in my experience.
"Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
MS62. The coin is softly struck and there is no signs of rub.

Robert----The 41 S ---together with the 40S are supposed to be the weakest struck S mint coins of the later dated Walkers. But what limits this grade for me is the clutter above the motto----between the T and the Y. I also do not like the dings in the center skirt lines. If the coin didn't have these problems, the coin could possibly grade a 63--64. But I am with robertpr in grading it an AU58. The strike itself is in the middle---not too soft for a 41S but certainly not great either. The center is weak as is the center of the Eagle's breast. IMHO. the coin is not worth the price of a certification by either TPGS. Bob [supertooth]

I did not "get a grade". I purchased the coin. I also have a 41-S in a PCGS holder (OGH, for those that care), and it looks slightly better. I think the coin posted above is a nice MS-63, and I paid MS-63 money for it.
If those two are 58's I over-graded. Change my grade to Au-55... >>
I was just joking, RYK's Walker is a very nice 63. I like his picture but I think his Walker would look better in hand. I think it has more hand detail than the image shows.

I'll go 64.
Is this a trick question?

Abrasion wear in skirt/fingers, feathers in leg of eagle (what I don't understand is no wear visible in top of wing crook)

But then again, it's just an opinion, hope it's a higher grade for your sake.

Actually, San Francisco sucked at Walkers in '40 and '41. I'll be generous and say 64.

OK, I'm not sure. Seems like a lot of luster, but too much wear. I'll say AU58.

Mr. Clinton,
I think that when you look at a lot of 41-S Walkers, you will be surprised at how consistently weak the strike is. Best regards to Hillary.

Very true and nice Walker by the way.
Here are 2 of my AU-58's.
If those two are 58's I over-graded. Change my grade to Au-55...
