A couple of worn Walkers-- post yours?

I'll have to post my newest Walker as soon as I can get on my home computer.

Really nice! Curious about the red-ish-ness on the eagle's feathers (underside feathers from center to about 2/3 oclock position)... natural tone there? contact from a mylar flip? am I seeing things? curious what you see in hand color wise. Great coin, great details too.

 

I believe it was in an album or envelope for a time. The images are a lot darker than the actual coin (might need to check the white balance!) the coloring is sort of iridescent. I sent it in to the 'old' ICG about 3 years ago, just after I bought it, and they BB'd it for PVC! There actually was a little green haze on the wing, acetone took it right off. However, I don't think the PVC caused this toning. Unfortunately, the fields show signs of an old, if fairly light, cleaning-- something I was not attuned to when I bought it.

 

I got this last Friday at the coin show in St. Louis...

 

Very nice! From here, it looks G-6+, bumping up awfully close to VG. That's a great coin.

 

Thank you. The dealer had it marked as G6. I figure thats pretty close.

i assume DDO is double die obverse right? i dont see any doubling.

I still cant believe these walkers were in circulation, theyre so beautiful. If i were alive back then id be hoarding them all haha

 

The doubled die is below the chin and the right breast.
