GTG: 1946S Walker Half. BIG PICS

[AnkurJ]

Its in a PCGS MS holder. Amazing luster with a few minor breaks.

Thoughts?

Strong head. Good strike for this date/mint mark. Typical weak central lines Obverse and Reverse. Low end MS66, high end MS65. Field hits/breaks detract very little. Nice Walker.

 

I think PCGS gave this coin a grade of MS66.

I will guess MS65. It seems a bit baggy for MS66 IMO. Very pretty coin!

Way too baggy for a 66. I'd call it a low end 65 - although with that huge scrape on the eagle's leg, I'd almost be borderline 64

[coinman_23885]

64 to 64+

I call it MS 66 even with that mark on the eagle’s leg. That is not a huge mark - the enlarged photo amplifies it.

[coinman_23885]

AnkurJ, could you post a smaller photo? It is possible that I am being too tough because of the large photos, which magnify flaws, etc. I know that even MS67 coins can look less than ideal in larger photos which accentuate the flaws.

My guess is MS64 ... just too baggy for a full 65. What is going on with the second to last digit of the date?

[Oldtrader3]

I would call it a MS65. Right arm and a few field hits, plus weakness on reverse in eagle's center mass, over Liberty's body profile and a couple luster breaks (reverse field) are the only thing holding this coin down at MS65, IMHO.

 

Great luster and good strike for MM and date.

[Walkerfan]

Great luster. I think that the strike could be a little better. There's scattered abrasions. I'll say MS 64

[AnkurJ]

It is indeed a MS64 in an old Doily holder! The luster is amazing, but it does have a lot of small contact marks and a few areas of luster breaks.

I do not think this coin would upgrade or ever CAC... While the luster might be good the coin is far too baggy for my liking.

It could CAC if it were in an AU58 Holder.

ofc it would.. Gold CAC... but this is a 64 holder... maybe in hand I would change my mind on this coin.

This did get a CAC green bean by the way.

Then must be the photo throwing me off..

63 would be my guess.To many hits on the obverse.The picture is much to big to grade.

Wow ... I gotta get a few of my short set Walkers on here ... I may have the mother load!
