    Walkers are not my forte. I love the design but only have ones that I have pulled from CRH'ing. Was wondering what those of you in the know, would grade this beauty. Thanks :)

    58+ Love the design as well. Nice coin!

    Is that the true color in hand? Does it have luster in hand?

    53-55 to me. Wear on the obverse cheek, breast, and leg. Reverse wear on the breast feathers, right wing, and right leg. Luster appears dull and lifeless.

    One of my favorite classic US coin designs.

    The color is kind of off in the pictures. I took the picture in my bathroom with the wrong lighting. It definitely has some nice luster and is a white color with the specks of toning.

    Here, perhaps these are better. At least more true to color and luster:

    Yeah I should know better....I didn't realize just how bad the pictures were until I looked on my laptop. Was posting from my phone while the kids were bathing lol.

    Much better photos. Still agree with 53-55. Nice coin. I picked up one of these advertised as 63 and ended up being a solid 58. This one has more wear than it and the luster a bit more subdued.

    Those first pictures were a reflection off the pink shower curtain. ;)

    One of my favorites, too. Checking my collection spreadsheet, I see I paid $14.99 to a dealer in Harpers Ferry about 8 years ago for one in similar condition. He graded it a 56.
