1942 Toned Walker in a 4th Tier holder... (edit: reduced image size: 300K Image (1200 x 600))

This coin is graded MS-66 in a 4th Tier (NNC) holder. Sold it last week, buyer decided they didn't like it so it's
coming back to me. Wondering what people here think of it

I'm thinking I would like it much better with a smaller image

OffCenter · March 11, 2007 6:18PM

MS63 ......... or AU58. Is that a rub on the breast????

Large images to help with opinion making

Doesn't look like it in hand. And it really is a virtually mark free coin from what I could see/remember. I'll look it over again when I get it. I may send it off to somewhere else for their opinion (probably ANACS if just for cost/speed reasons)

You need to downsize your images, first of all they come nowhere near fitting on a 15 inch monitor, secondly images that large lose the affect of being able to see the entire coin at once and by the time you scroll and scroll and scroll you've forgotten what the rest of the coin looked like and thirdly its just plain rude to post photos like this constantly. After your last shenanigans I said I wouldn't open another one of your threads.

Why did you then? Especially since I have the image screen size and file size right in the title?

It is tough to grade from an image that size.

lsica · March 11, 2007 9:28PM

<< It is tough to grade from an image that size. >>

Constructive criticism noted and heeded. I shrunk the image to 1200x600 300K

MS64 nice original coin.

Beat me to it.

I think the strike is weak but the color is nice.

After seeing the coin in hand did the buyer think the stacking mark on the breast was wear?

planetsteve · March 11, 2007 10:29PM

I can't stand those stacking marks on the breast on these coins. It seems to wreck a lot of them visually for me. I also see a similar mark near the end of her left hand fingertips -- are these also stacking marks?

The image of the obverse doesn't make me eager to jump at this coin, but I bet it looks great in hand. The reverse looks to have an attractive toning pattern, and appears well struck.

Don't know. He just said he didn't like it and was going to return it.

ziggy29 · March 11, 2007 10:34PM

I suspect the buyer thought they had a rip due to the third-world holder and had visions of crossing over for a nice profit...until they got the coin.

AU58 with unattractive brown toning.

ColonialCoinUnion · March 11, 2007 10:53PM

It may be original, but it's not attractive, it has some rub and a nicer example can be readily obtained from multiple sources.

Sorry, but that's what I see.

planetsteve · March 11, 2007 10:54PM

How are you guys arriving at MS63, 64, or, say, 65? I see a pretty limited number of hits, which I think would allow a high grade. Are you looking at strike? Surface condition, or luster?

darktone · March 11, 2007 10:59PM

<< How are you guys arriving at MS63, 64, or, say, 65? I see a pretty limited number of hits, which I think would allow a high grade. Are you looking at strike? Surface condition, or luster? >>

that stacking rub or wear pretty much limits the grade.

cape · March 11, 2007 11:05PM

personaly i dont like the color but i feel this coin is an easy ms65.

Glad to know that the graders are on to my pet peeve with these coins.

Color me simple, but outside of the whack on the breast, I like the piece and the bronze coloring...

How can any of you possibly grade this coin as mint state? The obverse of the coin has toned to an overall brown. There are several breaks in the brown toning where the coin has picked up obvious wear.

KurtHorn · March 12, 2007 12:52AM

Looks like an ugly 65 to me...

I agree with 291fifth. The coin shows wear on the high points, and I couldn't call it uncirculated.

There is a point where I would take away from the grade for unattractive toning, and this coin would qualify, in my opinion. Consequently, I would probably evaluate this one as AU53.

If the toning were attractive (in my opinion), I might give it a higher grade, but it would still not be uncirculated.

Hard to put a grade to it. Love the reverse, but the obverse is fugly.

Coin is for sure Unc!

50cents · April 23, 2007 1:28PM

It looks like ANACS like it.

Sotty · April 23, 2007 1:37PM

I just love those red X coins. Does that mean I can get it for $10?

Myqqy · April 23, 2007 3:06PM

After reading all of the disagreeing remarks, I would like to see the image....

lsica · April 25, 2007 8:16AM
