Newp 41-S Walker. Took my time finding this one.

66

Good strike for a 41S. I'd call it at least a 66.

Where did you ever find THAT!!??

 

I see MANY 66s that don't have a strike nearly that good. It looks to be very minimally abraded and is re-toning nicely, too.

 

That's AT LEAST a 66! Personally, I'd grade it even higher.

 

The only thing that I can imagine is that MAYBE the luster held it back ever so slightly from being a superb gem? I am not sure, though. I'll say 66 +

 

Fabulous addition!!!

I'm in the MS 66 camp too. Can't find any flaws.

Beautiful!

 

Guessing MS66+

 

I've seen many MS66's that are not nearly as nice as this one.

 

Great addition!

66 and the minor chatter on the thigh kept it from being unaffordable. Nice hand detail and nice definition on the eagle's breast.

And I thought my example had a nice strike (it does). (thumbs u

Yes, it is a MS66. What was important to me, the strike, was mentioned by very many replies. I searched for this coin for 2 years. I found many MS66 examples that had the grade but not the central line definition I was looking for. Clean fields, but weak central lines in dozens of coins that I looked at.

 

This coin has a way above average strike for a 41-S. Nice skirt lines a partial thumb and a very sharp head. The only limiting factors, as Coindude pointed out, are hits on the upper thigh and hand area---I can live with that.

 

Thanks for the comments.

 

Hey Sam, this was the coin I was waiting for before sending you this one and a few dozen Busties to image.

I can fall in love with that baby real easy. Very nice one.

[Coindude]

Carl it will be an honor to image those for you my friend.

Had I not seen the grade, I would have said MS66+ minimum with a good shot at MS67. The surfaces are there, the strike is above average, and the rest of the coin is all there so I am a bit surprised it didn't at least receive a plus designation.
