    It looks like a very weak strike, I don't even see any breast feathers at all on the eagle, God and Trust are very weak too.

    Weak strikes are tough, maybe a strong EF or AU but.... for AU there still should be some breast feathers... although Liberty's breasts are well defined on the obverse... that's a tough one to grade.

    MS62, MS63 if what appears to be hairlines are on the plastic holder.

    The coin appears to be mint state but weakly struck, which is common for "S" mint late date walkers.

    it is an S mint so the strikes are not great, I may need to reshoot some pictures

    I'm thinking AU50-55 depending on luster.

    you must see something in the coin that sparked interest image
    from the picture the coins looks like it will make a wonderful addition to an AU set but would stick out like a sore thumb in a nice BU set... reguardless of the technical grade...

    That's a tough one- I go with AU with a very weak strike- it's strange to see so much detail missing but what appears to be nice luster. Interesting coin- no chance it was a die trial?

    Based on you Walker reverse , do you think you knoe the series? I am getting grades from VF to MS - that is a very broad range. I think the coin has a lot of luster and should be MS or maybe a slider at worst but clean surfaces - too clean for a AU50 grade much less a VF!

    I am hope some series experts will offer opinions

    Sorry if you don't like my opinion but there is too much chatter on the coin for a Mint State grade IMO. And since I noticed your link on the BST board it looks like the eBay bidders feel the same way.

    The grade? 55-58 IMO. It's hard to imagine that I don't see a little wear. But it's not really my series.

    Use smaller pictures to deemphasize the weak strike or light wear or whatever that is...and emphasize the luster. Or maybe flatter lighting? Or sharper lighting? I think that big closeup picture shows all sorts of confusing stuff. Interesting coin for discussion.

    It could be a very weak strike MS coin, if there is NO break in the luster, which I don't see. Lusted I mean. looks more like an AU coin lacking detail because of the weak strike.

    Here is a typical unstruck blank planchet. A weak strike will NOT flatten out these marks
    in the deepest area of the dies (highest relief of the coin.) The presence of full luster must be used
    in these cases to determine if there is any actual wear on the coin.

    Concur. The coin IMO is not worth 63 money.

    Some of the answers are insane.

  • pennyanniepennyannie Posts: 3,929 ✭✭✭
    Coin looks like crap. I do not care if it is mint state or not. I may not be able to grade but i know enough that i would not buy this coin reguardless of the number on the holder. You can add this coin to your collection but not mine. Why on earth would you want this dog in your collection?

    In terms of whether the coin will grade... no

    In terms of what the coin grades... yes

    Thank You, coincat. Your thinking. Respectfully, John Curlis

    John:

    You deserve credit as my initial look really focused on the surfaces and that a BB was possible and it never went further until you mentioned it.

    Fortunately, I was able to cherry pick a 1918-d without initials about 10 years ago... it is graded AU53 and has similar charcteristics (even though the obverse design was weaker for pre 1923 Walkers)

    There are other dates without initials in the series and I never seem to be able to remember them all...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
