@Coinsandmedals you're up...

 

Just an aside......I wonder what it was that John (Milton) detected upon my example as to keep the coin from grading higher. Fodder for another thread perhaps.

Carry on.......

 

Next, we have a 1946 S WLH in a PCGS MS-66 holder. The images are a work in progress, but this is what I have so far.

 

Nothing untoward. I'd say solid green.

 

Very clean walker. The question is should it be a grade higher at MS 67? I'll stick to a green bean but a gold isn't out of the question.

 

Nice 66. Yes to a green sticker.

 

There's a spot on the sun with some light scuff there, too. The strike isn't strong, and unlike a 40-S, 46-S comes well struck. Also a bunch of ticks in the middle of the coin on both sides. I'll say no sticker.

 

Nice 66 46-S Walker I believe it will CAC. A really nice lustrous superb gem. The spot on sun a minus. Would call it a B 66.

 

I often see walkers with either a spectacular obverse or reverse. Seldom with both in spectacular shape. I believe it would go a grade higher. I vote gold sticker.

 

I say YES for a Green sticker.

It looks appropriate for the 66 grade (with the only worrisome part being the hit on the sun).

 

Sunspots are natural!

 

I will keep things moving with the reveal. I have yet to attempt full slab shots, so I will use the seller's image.

 

Solid green. Too many little marks for gold

 

Ah we posted at the exact same time

Next up is this PCGS 1885-S MS 62

 

It does have a lot of marks but seems borderline MS63. I'd agree with a green bean.

 

I’m with @wxcoin and vote green
