    OK, granted.. my picture-taking abilities leave a lot to be desired, but I'm working on it... :)

    Here's a common-date 1945 Walker I picked up at the coin shop yesterday. It's NGC certified. Does anyone want to take a guess at the grade? It's nothing special; I just think Walkers are some of the most beautiful coins ever made (I think the reverse is just as stunning as the obverse on Walkers.

    MS 64

    A bit too many hits on the obverse (for me) to grade 65 or higher.

    Nice coin & thanks for sharing...Mike

    p.s. I'm not a walker expert in the least.

    Looks like it would grade MS64 at NGC/PCGS. The great strike would convince someone of a higher grade, but there area number of contact marks.

    Yes, I might guess that it is MS64 with a very nice strike as well. Good eye CoinOKC!

    I will agree with the MS-64 grade.
    The obverse looks great, but the reverse seems a bit weak to me.
    A nice Walker.

    I will jump onboard with the MS-64 group.

    wow great surfaces but i think the hits on liberty on the obverse keeps it from going ms-65 so im with the ms64 crowd

    Boy, you folks are good! MS-64 it is! I picked it up for $60. I didn't think it was too bad of a deal:
