    AU-58 , unless that darkness on the eagles leg is from the scan , if it is MS-64 . Still a beautiful Walker .

    stainless is the darkness on the eagles leg and breast from the scan or is it on the coin ?

    not sure, Just won it off the Bay. I paid $25 for it so I do hope it is BU like advertised

    Looks BU but could be a photoshopped AU coin. It's very nice in the picture and I hope it looks even better in hand.

    AU-50, Light wear on Obverse Right Leg @ Hip, my pic does not show much detail of the draped gown @ hip, may just be photo.
    Reverse shows light wear on Eagle Leg, Breast with lack of detail on outer to mid points of the right wing, these areas concern me the most as I do not think it is the photo. This could be due to a poor strike but I would think this would be apparent in other areas of the Reverse has well.

    Too close to tell with just photos. Either AU-58 or MS-63. Enough nicks visible to keep from MS-64 in my opinion, but a very nice coin for the price!

    The past few threads on Walkers have been very educational.

    It's been interesting to see how weak strikes and grading waltz around with each other. It's also one of the few series where budget collectors need to be aware of such nuances to get the best deal for the buck.

    $25 is a good buy. It's nice to see some detail on her right hand.

    I would say by the Photo Ms60 to 63 there are no scracthes in the focal area of the coin. and it seems to be a well struck coin. I think you got a fair deal

    I am with the AU-55 guys, just the slightest wear on the highest points and it looks like it's been lightly cleaned as well.

    Nice coin! I can't tell if there is rub or not, so imo AU58 or MS64. I hope you post some pix when it arrives. Looks like a good buy.
