Grade my 1917 Walker

This my not be as pristine by most standards. I know it isn't MS65 as the owner said and it has a scratch on the obverse. But I think it was a good price.
Early Walkers in higher grade are hard to come by and when I find one they are way out of my reach.

But, I don't think it is a dog either

I would say Unc details (because of the scratch) but maybe others will have a different opinion.

 

There is no way around it. Uncirculated Details. That scratch did it in. It may also have been cleaned, it's hard to tell from the photos. It looks like there may be some parallel hairlines in the fields of the obverse. Either way, It is a details coin.

 

AU-58 (or weakly struck, hard to say if it's one of the other).

 

Don't worry what others think, if you like it that's all that matters
AU58 Details

 

I like the date . Still if you like it that's all that matters . AU Details .

 

I know it isn't MS65. But for the price I can life with the scratch. Thought it would go AU Details or there abouts. Not going to bother about getting it TPGed either but it will go into my collection. And I won't have to crack it out.
Thanks everyone for your opinions.
