Looking at the seller's pictures, it is clear that he is using a very yellow light, or has a significant problem with his white balance. You should not expect that "golden color" on the coin in hand. When interpreting pictures, look for as many contextual clues as you can: the yellowish glint on the surrounding plastic and the washed out reverse label should indicate that the coin in hand will look very different from what the pictures appear to show. 2. I'm guessing the PCGS TruView is much closer to how it actually looks. The coin is not a "toner." It has some original skin, which gives it a neutral eye appeal. It is not terribly attractive, but it isn't ugly either. 3. The luster, as has been mentioned, is going to be muted by this skin. That's perfectly acceptable. The shape of the cartwheel is going to depend on the design of the coin. 4. I'd grade it 65, with a shot at 66, based on the PCGS pics. 5. If you don't like it, return it. If you have any hesitations about it, return it. If you aren't in love with it, return it. High grade Walkers are *extremely* common coins, especially if you only need it for type. If you are building a type set and "settle" for this coin, will you ever be happy with it? There is absolutely no reason to keep this coin unless you are crazy about it. It doesn't sound like you are crazy about it, therefore your choice here should be obvious.[/QUOTE]
