SHANE ADDED NEW PICS TONED WALKER CROSS OVER

[copper toning]

Shane added his pics in a lower post.

 

This is the first walker I purchased a few years ago which I bought raw from a local dealer. His grade was 65 and I paid 65 money for the coin. Unfortunately I new little about the differences in grading companies and I took the cheaper route and submitted to ICG. They graded the coin MS65.

 

I had posted this coin about 18 months ago when looking for advice on selling the coin. After learning the value would be greater in NGC of PCGS plastic. I had also become aware of the star designation and wanted opinions on that also.

 

Anyhow I remained unsure and decided not to do anything until about a month ago. Having trouble advancing my wheat collection I decided to consign a few coins to Kryptonite Comics.

 

Shane advised me the coin would do much better in NGC plastic and he felt the coin should go 65*. Today he let me know the results were in and sure enough it did make his grade.

 

A side not this is one of 3 higher value coins (at least to me) which I bought raw from the dealer and all 3 coins holdered at the dealers grade with no problems.

 

My pics of this coin are old and not very good. I cant wait to see Shane's pics.

 

Also a big thanks to Shane on results of a recent consignment that was great. I would recommend him to any one.

I completely forgot to add that the coin was cracked out before submitted.

Wow.. Beautiful!

A nicely toned walker is always a great find. And a 1938 ...

 

Great buy!

 

Please post Shane's pics when you get them!

[copper toning]

Thanks I will post them.

 

I currently have a nicely toned 1918-S that has replaced this one

 

 

This coin is raw so I was able to do a decent video.

Nice color, and a 65* grade doesn't surprise me in the least. I do look forward to seeing Shane's images of the coin. I follow his listings pretty regularly, so I'm guessing that it will be up soon? (No spam intended).

Your most welcome and yes the coin is a real looker in hand so I would have been surprised if it didn't get the star as it's all there (thumbs u

I'm glad that it crossed at MS 65. Man, those images are so much better. NOW, I can see why it starred.

[slcoin]

Yeah, amazing what a good photo will do!

The initial images made me think of something that was iodine stained. Shane you did a wonderful job bringing out the colors. Congrats on a super nice coin.

[copper toning]

Great photo Shane. You really nailed the color.

 

And thanks for the advice and submission help.

 

P.S. I did not realize how bad my pic sucked.

[Eric Hazen]

As always Shane did a great job on capturing that coin.

Something else that is cool about this coin is there have been 2100 1938 Walkers graded by NGC and this is the one and only star designated coin
