<p>[QUOTE="JBlade00, post: 1501748, member: 37468"]Hey all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Got my first BU Walking Half in the mail today. It's a common date 1942-P but for $18 shipped (<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F261072880252%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F261072880252%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/261072880252?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649</a>) I couldn't pass it up! The seller had some not-so-great pics but I did my best to try and figure out based on the details what kind of grade it might be. I couldn't see the luster from the pics but it seemed like the detail was there so I took a shot. Seems like I got a pretty good deal on this one as it looks very nice in hand. Never had a BU WL Half so I don't really have anything to compare it to grade wise (other than other graded examples and PCGS photograde). To me it seems like a MS64 or better but I don't know for sure. Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]192769.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]192771.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Same coin with different lighting to try and show off the great luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]192770.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]192772.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There is some brown spotting on the obverse that looks almost like dirt.
