[QUOTE="rotobeast, post: 342119, member: 8671"]The thread in the "What's It Worth" forum had me looking into grading Walkers. I went to Heritage and looked at the slabbed coins and it confused me more than anything. The grades for Walkers seem to be all over the place. The only thing I could figure was that the grade is heavily carried by the condition of the reverse. Liberty's left hand seems to rarely ever be defined. I'n my observations, the gown lines on Liberty's left leg and the crease in the gown to the left of that seem to be the best indicators of wear. Once in a while I find wear on the head and Liberty's right arm, but only on coins below XF & below. I'm just trying to find the key indicators in the AU and MS ranges. I'm grading some coins for someone here that needs some and I do not want to misrepresent anything. A lot of these were given to me, so no dogging me for not knowing how to grade them properly before purchasing. ;) Anyway, any Walker experts out there ? :) Thank you, in advance.[/QUOTE]
