    Please grade and place a value on this 1941 D Walker. This coin has beautiful mint luster with very few minor marks. Beautiful details and great eye appeal. Thanks!

    I'm far from an expert, but I'd go AU-58.

    Sorry, missed that part, eh ?

    Probably worth $20-$25.
    :)

    I could be wrong on my grading though.

    I don't think you'd get $20 for it. Looks like it has minor corrosion. I'd agree with the AU details.

    Maybe these pictures that aren't zoomed in so much might help. I don't notice any corrosion at all on them...oddly enough. Especially considering what they previously looked like!!:cool:

    What I am surprised about is no one mentioned the doubling on the right wing???

    I would like to see the coin under different lighting before thinking about a grade.

    That aside - It's a great looking coin with nice details and I think the doubling could help you get a bit more money if you decide to sell it.

    Thank you for sharing it with us!

    It is not listed in Fox's Complete Guide, but it is very interesting.
    Nice catch.

    Thanks Frank - There is more doubling on the other side as well near the mint mark. This is one of those coins I would love to see under the scope!

    Hope Mike sees this and comments!

    Wow! Your getting me excited! I have got to get a scope. I have two microscopes and tried one of them once but it just wouldn't work. I will try and get a better picture in different light. I appreciate your keen eye!

    OK. I tried again using a tripod and the auto timer to get better pictures in natural light. See what you think.

    Lighting is much-much better! For the AU grade I am a little concerned about the amount a wear in the hand and in the eagle feathers on the reverse. Some of the lines in the dress are a little weak and they are supposed to be all strong for EF. A couple nicks/rubs (like her cheek) also concern me. I am no expert in this series ( or really in any other :eek:) so I am not sure how much these things affect the grade. If I was guessing I would say high EF grade.

    The full shot of the reverse is a little fuzzy. The zoomed in areas are better but try moving the light around a little to show the doubling on the wing better. Great shots all the same - much better than the first group!

    Hey Carl , Here's my two cents ... I think this coin is a solid MS63. I don't see any wear .. front or back. I think it's solid MS.

    I'll go along with AU, and a nice one at that, would be a perfect coin for a type set.

    I cannot decide what pics I like best tho, I guess the 2nd set shows more of the flaws, less lustre...make it look more AUish

    Vincent - I think you are being a little generous - I am no expert and it may be AU - but no way MS. Look at these areas - the hand and face especially:
