toned 42-p walker

[zboyle04]

i have had this one for awhile, one day i will send it to NGC. it has a real original look and the toning makes the luster rather subdued, but it is there in hand. let me know what you think

[physics-fan3.14]

Dark coins with thick toning often tend to get punished in the grading room. I would grade this one MS-64, and would not waste the money to send it in to get graded.

 

Its not worth it to send it in unless its a high 66 with a shot at 67 - which this one is nowhere near.

I mostly agree with physics. I was gonna say MS 63 but it MIGHT make 64, certainly, no higher than that.

 

I would have to see it in hand to be certain that it is MS. The reason that I say MS 63 is , b/c the skirts look weak up the center but I DO see some decent luster there. That type of toning will not help the cause, either.

 

MS 63 is my best assessment.

I like Walkers with original toning like this one exhibits.

 

Here is a NGC MS67 for comparison.

 

 

 

 

From your photographs, I think this coin is a strong MS65. But TPGs can be very erratic when it comes to grading toned coins. If you are looking to sell you may want to submit for grading. If you are going to hold on, I would not grade this coin.

i like the original toning, looks a lot like this one, which i bought on ebay:

i will eventually submit to NGC whether it comes back MS64, 65 or even 63, i don't care too much

[physics-fan3.14]

Hey, its your money. Do what you want with it.

[Walkerfan]

Let me add that I only was looking at that first image. That third image shows much BOLDER skirts. I apologize for not taking notice of that before. I now feel that MS 64 is a quite fair and reasonable assesment.

thats not for me. again if you like it go for it best wishes

[Walkerfan]

Is it just the photos or do I see a little bit of rub on the that right facing breast.

 

Do you notice how it is grayish llooking compared to the rest of the coin? It is also not toned, either.

 

I would have to see it in hand but my guess is that it may have some wear.

 

If that is the case, then it may be an AU 58.

[coinman_23885]

I think I see some rub on the obverse. If so, I'd say AU58. If the discoloration is due to some odd patterned toning, then I would say that the strike and luster cap this to MS64 maximum for me. Regardless, it is not worth submitting for grading.

[DunderChief-migration]

Sometimes the toning can distract from the grading points of the coin. The pictures appear to show a small amount of wear on the obverse but could be because the picture was taken through plastic. AU58.
