<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 865004, member: 19165&quot;]Unfortunately, this one is not graded PL - it has a * though. I think it just barely misses full PL, although on a good day, it could get it. PL Walkers are <i>incredibly</i> rare, with just 4 having been graded in the entire series (and 190,000 coins graded at NGC alone). On a reasonable budget, a star is as close as I&#039;m going to get. Heritage has sold a couple of prooflike Walkers, and they went for close to $2k. </p><p><br /></p><p>As fish noticed, this is also a D mint. Almost all prooflikes of this era (about late 1930&#039;s to early 1950&#039;s) are from the San Francisco mint. These dies received an exta amount of polishing, resulting in the prooflike fields. D mint prooflikes of this era are very unusual. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the grade - NGC called it a 65*. This is the most clearly undergraded coin I have ever owned - in hand, it is clearly at least a 66+. There are a couple of small tickmarks on her thigh that do not show well in my picture, and the small mark on the rim - and that is it. The fields, especially on the obverse, are flawless and textured like I have never seen on a Walker. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I am doing a Registry set - and this one is lucky enough to fill two slots. It fills a position in my Walker set, and in my Prooflike Type Set. I&#039;ll link the prooflike set here, since it is a bit more unusual: <a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=98228" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=98228" rel="nofollow">http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=98228</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
