<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaroyle, post: 573906, member: 18283&quot;]hi all,</p><p>&nbsp;I have a nice collection of walking liberty halves that I purchased and most of the 1938 and after coins are BU, and some of them look exceptional. I&#039;ve been trying to understand how to distinguish higher grade (say MS 64-66) from more mundane uncirculated coins (noting that MS 65/66 coins seem to be quite valuable), but I can&#039;t find any explicit guidance on what to look for. I have an old Coin Values which gives some pictures and pretty generic advice for each MS60-MS65 but not really any key traits to look for.</p><p>&nbsp;Does anyone have some pointers for this?</p><p>&nbsp;My understanding is that certain details can be rather poorly struck, such as the lines on the front of the gown. I can&#039;t imagine how one could distinguish poor strike from wear. Could a coin grade MS 64 or higher with poor strike in this way?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Any advice would be greatly appreciated! [If I can figure out how to post pictures maybe i&#039;ll post a few examples tomorrow....]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>thanks a lot</p><p>andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
