<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1169438, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m a bargain-hunter. If my goal had been to buy an XF40 1920-S, yes, I would&#039;ve insisted on an NGC or PCGS slab, and I would&#039;ve paid through the nose for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the Numismedia price list for Walkers:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/wlkhlv/pricesgd.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/wlkhlv/pricesgd.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/wlkhlv/pricesgd.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It lists the 1920-S at $25 in F12, $97 in VF20, $270 in XF40, and $510 in AU50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Early Walkers do not come cheap in higher grades. The 1920-S appears to be around the middle of the pack.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d figure I&#039;d made a good deal if this turns out to be VF20, although I&#039;d rather not spring for a slab at that grade. But based on the skirt lines, the feathers, and the dripping luster, I&#039;m thinking it might do much better than that. Weighing against it are the hairlines, the haze above the motto, and a few very small dings, especially on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I had a local dealer I could trust to render advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
