Stunning Walking Liberty

Yowza!! Those surfaces are so CLEAN and I need my shades for that color. :cool: looks 67 or 68 based on those images.

 

I am guessing that the surfaces look so clean because it's a Proof? If so, while it's usually impossible to provide meaningful grade guesses for such coins, I'll guess PR68.

 

If, by chance, the coin is a business strike, the images appear to be over lit and are llikely masking (at least some minor) flaws.

You'll get no argument from me. :) I can't tell for sure, either. Also, proofs tend to be a little more colorful than business strikes are. That coin has the toning pattern that one would expect to find on a proof.

Agreed.

I looked thru the comments, lots of PR and lots of MS guesses. The one sly dog who would have been believable, was

 

>>Larry Shapiro 68 plus plus plus<<

 

who did not designate it to be a PR or a MS the rat.

 

I've never followed these 'guess the grades' on Facebook to see if the grade is ever revealed, my gut tells me PR-68

Call me the contrarian but I think it's a PL Walker BU coin. That said and knowing how stingy they are with MS 68, I'm guessing MS 67.

 

Dear Mr. contrarian,

 

It is extremely unlikely that a business strike would display the strike, PL surfaces, the color or the overall fabric/appearance of the imaged coin.

Looks like a standard PF66 with lovely toning...and the photography is hiding a lot more than you'd think. I really dislike images of proofs like this without a proper straight-on image to go along with it.
