1946-S/S Walker posted by CBC

[CSJournals-migration]

Highest (only) graded example by NGC

 

I bought a 1946-S Walker through a Heritage auction as a MS-66. THe auction photos looked like a S/S, even though it was not labeled as such. I sent it to NGC for Variety review. The NGC Census says it's now the only MS-66 VP-001 certified by NGC; in fact, the only one in any grade. This probably won't last long but it's nice to have the only one, even for a little while.

 

My original photo clearly shows the S/S but it's over the 75kb file size limit for journal postings. If you can't see it clearly in this photo, the more detailed photo is in my set listing.

 

Only 14 more Walker varieties to go!

Cool coin! I wonder why no one has attributed this variety to date?

really cool find CBC--and good eye for spotting it !

I was quite surprised that no other examples of this variety have been certified. It's certainly not a rare variety (maybe in MS-66, but not in other grades). Looking through auction archives on the Heritage website, they have sold several that weren't identified on the slab. That's why I say it won't be long before there are more - now that NGC has this in a Registry set, soon enough people will start to submit them.
