    I will only venture a guess on the Walker. I'm going with PCGS MS65. The strike is excellent for a late date San Francisco piece with full thumb seperation. There is a little bit of chatter on lady Liberty, but the fields are nice and clean. As for value, somewhere in the neighborhood of $300. Just my opinion.

    The 44 D Merc I go a strong 65, possibly a 66. Not good at grading 3 cents, but I'll say that one is also a 65, beautiful luster on the both of them. :thumb: The buffalo I go a 64 on, nice toning. And the walker I go 65, possibly a 66, I have to agree with TOLS, it has a VERY exellent strike! Very beautiful, all of them. :thumb:

    Phoenix :cool:

    The merc looks like it just misses FSB based on what I see on the top bands at the Left. I would give it a MS65 for sure maybe a MS66.

    The Walker is a real beauty MS65 For sure!

    on the 3C looks like either it has lost the misnt lustre on the top or the lighting makes it appear that way. I also see it on the reverse. I will say MS62

    Nice Jake! My guesses are:

    Walker: 63
    Buffalo: 61
    3 cent: 64
    Merc: 66 FSB (hard to tell from a photo, but I'll step out on a limb)

    Walker - MS63 (Looks like a small patch of hairlines in the right field)
    Buffalo - MS63 (Seems a little dull for a 38D, with some scattered marks)
    3 Cent - MS64 (Gorgeous coin, with one noticeable mark on the reverse, and possilbly a few light marks on the obverse)
    Merc - MS66 (I think its a just miss FB because of the top left, but they may have let it pass)


    Whatever the grades are, its a very nice group of coins!

    They are nice coins! I knocked the Buffalo to a 63 based on the color, but if its nicely and naturally toned, then I can see why its a 64.
