If a few of the more knowledgeable members could take a look at this walker for me and give an opinion on condition it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance-

I would not call that a AU! VF all day long as to much wear and I do not like the scratches by the beak of the eagle.

 

I think it shows wear, also, & I suspect cleaned at one time.

 

Not AU... now way, now how.

 

Ask for more pictures if you can. You really have to see the full coin to grade it.

 

Sorry, I just realized that there is a section for this type of question. Thanks to everyone who replied thus far.

 

LOL! "Full breast lines". What next?
Lance.

 

XF appears to be a stretch for that coin.

 

I found myself looking at the reverse first, before I had to turn the 'idiot switch' on to figure out what he meant. I'd go nowhere near it.

 

It's a scan. Low EF cleaned.

 

Yep... has that matte "sandblasted" look.

 

I would say VF30, which is very generous but the coin does have nice rims even if it doesn't have any luster. As for full-breast, -I agree that is a bit of a stretch. Anyone concerned with that sort of thing should be collecting the coins of Benin (Dahomey) and not Walking Liberty halves.

 

I was thinking VF

 

I cannot tell if it is a high VF or a low XF weaker strike, but perhaps more importantly, that coin definitely looks cleaned to me.
