[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 712867, member: 19765"]I've been trying to get some Walking Liberty half dollars together, not so much for a set or anything but just b/c it's one of my favorite designs. I went to my favorite coin store a couple of weeks ago and he has around 6 slabbed Walkers that are mostly in the MS63 to MS64 range and I looked at them and they are terrible looking. Also I've bought a few slabbed coins that don't look that good and seem to have gotten moisture in the slab or something and it messes the whole grading up in my eyes. The example I'm using captures the head fairly well so I will leave it. Now keep in mind that as far as the devices go there are special areas like the date for one which is a very strong date but it makes me ask, don't they look at the coin as a whole or only certain parts? Another thing is this obviously has a cud looking thing on lady Liberty's face, I mean it could be wear but whatever it is it certainly detracts from the coin IMO. What's up with this grading stuff? Some of the slabbed coins I've seen just don't make the grade in my book. Anyone? Here's the ebay number to see the original pic 200390320161[/QUOTE]
