<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2230223, member: 73165&quot;]In my quest to find a toned walker for my 20th century type set, I came across a nice one on eBay:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]438277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438276[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Silly me didn&#039;t check PCGS&#039;s cert page for a TrueView beforehand, but here it is (cert # omitted because I might want to do a GTG):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]438278[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What I got, I think, is somewhere in between, but much closer to the PCGS picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought based on the eBay photo and the assurances of the seller that it looked like the coin.&nbsp; I thought the label looked a little washed out in the auction pictures, so I suspected the photo was somehow juiced. And, honestly, the eBay pic looks almost like a gold coin, so that should have tipped me off to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dilemma is this: I agree with the grade, and the price wasn&#039;t too bad given the rarity of toned walkers (very close to PCGS price guide on this one).&nbsp; But, I&#039;m still on the fence as to whether I really want to keep the coin or not.&nbsp; Inside, under normal light, it looks good, but not outstanding; under sunlight or a grading lamp, it looks better, but still not quite what the eBay pic seemed to promise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the obverse seems to have some weird luster.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to describe, but it looks like a halo around the portrait where it doesn&#039;t seem to cartwheel like I expect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts, anyone?&nbsp; I am also taking this coin to a show this weekend to get an in person opinion from a couple dealers I trust.&nbsp; The seller is more than willing to work with me on a return (he stated as much in messages before I bought the coin), so I might do that.&nbsp; And what about the weird luster?&nbsp; Is that a Walker thing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
