GTG 44 Walker Half

I voted 64. These are significantly difficult to have a fully detailed leg on Liberty or the eagle. Luster looks great, but the field marks on the R in the obverse and the fact that all the lines are present, but legs are flat, I think they may have brought it down to a 64. Great coin though!

 

Your poll asks "what did ANACS grade this", so I voted 63. What do I grade it? 65

 

I'm in at 64

 

I will give the reveal and slab photo this evening.

 

Allright here it is. I would like all my 63's to look like this.


PS 6 of you voted 63' Well done!

 

@Burton Strauss III @Conder101 have there been earlier serial numbers with a bar code?

 

A 63?! Blast! Foiled again!

 

All of the low all-number slabs I have, do have the barcode

• 0-block: 75, 127, 761, 1422, 1424
• 7-block: 70195, 70395, 77384
• 15-block: 150420, 152357 (sharpied Sample), 155894, 158722
• 21-block: 215114

Our assumption is that they started using the all numeric when (Amos ownership) stopped the XX####, and they just filled in the blocks that weren't used for the conversions.

 

Thanks Burton, what

gen is this then? I thought I read that the serial numbers without bar code went up to 300,000 or so with a few outliers around 250,000 or so. I thought I read something wrong. Comprehension isn't always my best suit.

 

You have it backwards... there is a block around 300,000 which doesn't have the bar code.

But the defining characteristics of the change over from XX#### to all numeric is the type 1 bar code.

 

Thanks

 

I see stuff too. Gave it a hopefully 61

 

Good to see Ya Cheech!

 

One thing I learned 20 something years ago was on the shopping network (Coin Channel) that never hit home until a couple of years ago. What was that guy's name? Rick? He could sell snowcones to Eskimos, but I digress. There is mint and year rarity and then there is conditional rarity. It's huge in the Morgan series. I never got that until I started collecting a set, wanting the best examples I could afford. The 1901 P is really starting to piss me off.

 

Found a 1903S it just has that look. I won't look at it. If it was an 04S I would have already pulled the trigger.

 

I'm glad Cheech doesn't work at ANACS as a grader. If he did, I'd have no uncirculated coins.

 

Both Cheech and Randy come from the era of wear is wear, I like it. I think that that is the kind of discretion one should have when buying. I certainly do.
