1936 Walker, Proof or polished?

I have a 7-day return privilege on this coin. Bought on Ebay; not from a dealer. Mighty shiny, but holds up well side-by-side to a PR-66 1942 Walker. Any hairlines or marks are on the mylar holder, not the coin.

The left uhm, 'bazoom' looks a tad flat to me, but I am a leg man, after all.

As they say: "Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield." Which am I?

Wow,nice. I don't think you were the bug.

 

I'm feeling better already. Thanks... Fred

 

are the rims sharp or rounded?

 

Gotta get GD to take a look.....

 

I don't think you have anything to be concerned about with this walker. Nice Coin.

 

here are pics of the rim What kind of hat? Fred

 

instead of wasting precious time eating hats why not help me look for a cheap gem 8 reales the piece of 8 in gold is already gone in a few weeks i think the silver will vanish too.

and please dont make comments like that if u lose and eat the hat ull get sick

a better line i will give spock 500 pieces of gold

 

Arghhh! How did Elvis put it? "Return to sender..." Fred

 

So are you going to send it back Postalx or get a local dealer to take a look?

 

Probably going back, but I'll pass it under the loupe of my local guy first! Fred

 

Is it just me, or does it look like someone took a toothbrush to that coin?

 

...or are the marks on the obverse just on the holder?

 

Well please do come back and report, what is said. Thanks.

 

Just the holder. Not a mark on the coin or rims. It sure got me going! :rolling: Fred

 

Sorry but I agree it's been polished. Compare it to an actual WL proof it's not close1941 50C PR66 NGC. A gleaming and well-preserved example of this penultimate proof Walking Liberty half. Exquisitely struck.....

 

Yikes!!! Get rid of that quick......

 

how does your 42 walker hold up to the 41 on the link raider provided for you? supposedly both PR66's can you post your 42 Pr66 pic so we can do a side by side comparison?
