Don't Cheat!!

66 for the first, 65 for the second.

I'd call the 17D a 63, and the 16D a 64. I definitely like the second one better, I'm not a fan of the dipped look of the first one.

[coinman_23885]

I would call the 1917-D MS63 and I'm split on the 1916-D between MS63+ and MS64. I'm leaning closer to MS64 on the 1916-D.

I'll go with MS64 for the 1917 D and MS65 for the 1916 D. I'm still learning the nuances of Walking Liberty grading, but both sure look to have very clear central line strikes for "D" mint Walkers.

MS64 and MS63 were my thoughts.

Thanks to those of you who responded.

 

The 17 D R is a 63 and the 16 D is a 64. I feel that BOTH are undergraded by one point. IMHO. I spent years searching for examples like these two.

 

As for the remark about the first coin being dipped--- 95% of the upper echelon early dated Walkers have been. That is how many of them made it to that high of a grade level.

 

The trick is to find one that is very lusterous, fresh and richly vibrant such as this one. Not to mention with this type of surface preservation, detail and sharpness of strike.
