[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1869763, member: 41863"]In my honest opinion MorganDude, I feel like you could have done better on that coin, your taste in coins is really good and I dont think this Walker really represents what you typically pick up. The grade is nice and its CAC'ed, but I think the overall strike on the coin is weak, and that you could have found a better example in the same grade for not much more money, if any at all. Also, you mention mintage, and I would typically agree that it was smart to buy the lower mintage, but there were over 2 million of these made and I dont think it makes much of a difference at this point on this series (especially with the rarity of the early dates). In other words, I wouldve compared a few more years and found one with a bit better strike, ignoring mintage, especially for just a Type Coin. My eye was drawn to the reverse in criticism of this coin the most. I cant even distinguish the left leg from the open field in between both legs, along with some other various striking issues. At any rate, i am not trying to beat you up or overly criticize your coin, but there was just a thread about how the top 2 TPG'ers and CAC provide some insurance when you are buying, and this would be an example [U]to me[/U] of why you ALWAYS have to look your coins over and make sure you agree with whats inside compared to whats on the outside. The positive behind this is that you can easily sell that coin, likely for a small premium and locate a better example if you so desire. Sorry for being so harsh buddy, but like I said, I truly believe you can do a little bit better on this series.[/QUOTE]
