<reads over the posts so far> Dang, maybe I am starting to get the hang of this. I was thinking "at least AU with that much luster, no higher than XF with that much wear, but maybe it's just a weak strike, some details were weak in the early 20's Walkers, what was it like in the late 20's..."
Weak strike was common on this date according to PCGS CoinFacts. Oddly enough I picked one up myself today...I bought it thinking VG but I suspect it might be slightly higher.
Me too. But these days, you just never know with PCGS? I'm glad it worked out for him though. There's nothing better, than a coin coming back better than perceived.
