    Very Nice coin!! I'm at MS65+ (for some reason). Nice even toning and details throughout!

    Wear on face, breast and robes/legs…AU55/obverse, AU58+/reverse.

    My guess is AU58 on the label…imo…Spark

    Agreed. The thing that stands out to me is the slight flattening on the center of the eagles breast. I'd guess AU something.

    Then again, I'm not familiar with grading for these coins, and the "flattening" might be a feature of a mint state coin for all I know!

    In any case, it's a beautiful coin.

    MS64 The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is one of the finest coins ever minted. IMO

    66 is my guess, lovely coin.

    It is so hard to evaluate high point wear vs incomplete strike on walkers from photos, but the obverse areas look bright and silver so I am going with incomplete strike as I don't see any friction in the fields.

    This looks like an older holder so probably no + grade, and the color while nice seems to mute the luster a tad so probably no star.

    If I had only seen the top photo I would have said MS64.
    If I had only seen the 2nd photo I would have said MS66.

    I am splitting the difference and going with MS65.

    This one is harder to tell for me than the other one. I see AU-58 and MS-64.

    Lovely toning, very eye catching I think at least MS64.

    Very torn between au 58 and 65. My grade is 58. Market probably 65. I’ll go with my grade of 58. Rub on the leg does it for me

    Technically no better than 64, I'll guess that, though with toning like that who knows what they called it.
