    Hi all, just picked this up the other day. I'm upgrading my U.S. typeset, as I run across better coins. What grade would you pro's give this coin? She sure is brilliant in hand. Thanks for any feedback. 1942 mswalkingliberty obv.jpg 1942 mswalkingliberty rev.jpg

    It stands a chance for MS-63.
    There's a number of bag marks that will hold it back:
    -- under the eagle's head
    -- Liberty's left leg
    -- couple of other places on the obverse

    I'll go with 63 but the fields look funky. Maybe just the images.

    62 - a bit too many marks on the coin

    I'm thinking 62+ but I agree with questionable fields.

    Could you take some alternate shots of the obverse? Especially the right-hand field above "In God We Trust"?

    Nice Walker.
    Bag marks as noted.
    If luster is dazzling as you describe in hand,
    and concern about funky fields is a photographic
    aberration then MS-63

    Scratches above "In God We Trust." But a nice coin overall.

    My image deciphering skills aren't the greatest, but I'm not seeing any luster ?
    If the mint bloom is strong I'll go 63,
    If not, then :eek:

    MS60-62.. If not for the nicks and marks..it'd be close to 64-65

    Something going on under In God We Trust?

    And take a look under the eagle's beak. Spitting eagle? (That's a Morgan, I know. Just reminded me of it.

    63.
