<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1017510, member: 15309"]I find the coin attractive as well as the toning. The Walker series is tough to find with attractive rainbow toning and although the toning on this coin is far from monster, it is rather nice for the series. Disruptek's photos are obviously designed to show the color of the coin. My guess is that tilted under a light at the right angle, the photo is spot on. Heritage's photo is a straight on shot which is probably a more accurate representation of the coin in most conditions. Ironically, I think the combination of both sets of photos makes the coin even more desirable than either photo by itself. The luster looks better in the Heritage photos and that is a major factor in an MS67 coin. With only the Disruptek photo, I would have been concerned about the luster on the coin. However, this is still a coin I would like to see in hand before purchasing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think Mark is right about the motive of the previous owner. It seems clear that the crossover was an attempt to upgrade the coin from PCGS MS67 CAC to NGC MS68. The owner may have also been hoping for a star designation based on the toning. This coin is a registry level coin and the star designation which is rare on Walkers would have been a selling point since coins with star designations get a point bump in the NGC registry. IMO, the coin does not deserve a star designation based on either set of photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a walker that looks very much like the coin in question.
