<p>[QUOTE="AdamL, post: 497850, member: 6029"]Ok, I'll chime in <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The lack of detail on the hand that Vincent mentioned is something I see constantly on Walkers, even ones given high grades by the top TPG's. The only thing that concerned me was the first thing he mentioned, about the skirt lines. They had me questioning the grade because 1945 is not a date well known for a very weak strike. The last picture you posted of the close-up on the skirt lines looked a little better, but still like there could be some slight wear. I know grading is hard from photos. And I know from experience that it is hard to capture the details of Walkers in pics. I imagine that if I had the coin in hand I would probably agree with what PCGS said. They may have given it a small bump for the toning though, which is a practice that I don't care for much. I'm kinda rambling here, lol. Anyway, I think its a great looking coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
