    Hi All

    I wasn't going to post this but my curiosity got to me. When I bought this coin I was super proud of it.. It's a beautiful coin and the first I bought as a "collector."

    I showed it to a few coin collector friends and then a dealer who all said that it was substantially undergraded, and should also have the Full Head designation.

    For the sake of my own wonder, what grade do you think?? (FWIW I wouldn't send it to be regraded anyways as it would have to jump like 2 full points to make the cost worth it)

    Will post the grade later! Also - sorry for the pics not being perfect - can't figure out how to shoot through the slab!

    MS 64 ....looks like a beautiful Walker!

    By the way, "Full Head" is usually reserved for Standing Liberty Quarters

    The Hand detail on this coin determines the strength of the strike.
    I am at a 64 . The coin looks brilliant.

    Easy MS64 assuming the reverse hairlines are on the holder.

    has anyone ever seen one of these with the woman gold and the rest of the coin silver?

    64, possible 65. Looks like maybe some ticks on the sun, a grade sensitive area.

    MS-64

    According to baseball21’s standards, it is probably an MS-61.

    I think slab says 64. Might go 65 upon resubmission.

    A lot of things are done to coins post-mint, and experienced collectors generally don't want such.

    The grade is:

    NGC MS 63

    The people who saw it in hand said it should be in the 65 range as well.

    Novelty coin. I have two that are part of a money clip.

    The photos make it difficult to really see the detail. I'm at a 63 due to wear on the hand and breast plate. Those, the sandal and eagle's breast feathers are grading points.
