1942 Walker

[Crazy Mtn Coins]

Need some help grading this one.

 

[BillJones]

Grading this from the picture is hard because the coin has a dull, cloudy appearance. That could be an improper dip with residue, an improper dip that has damaged the surfaces or a light layer of re-toning. At any rate the coin falls in the AU to low in Unc. range, and would not be considered choice because of the dullness. Just how bad the dullness is would take a personal examination.

If the coin has decent or better luster, I would guess as high as MS64.

Thanks, some of the cloudy appearance I think is my lighting. I might try a different setup. I have maybe 75 raw Walkers I have had for some time. This one is typical of them. I am trying to decide what to do with them.

AU.

[Walkerfan]

Looks like a cleaned or polished MS 63.

It looks like there is residue of some sort on the coin. I would not attempt to grade the coin as one can only guess what is hidden underneath.

[Tyler N.]

Looks like AU58 to me

AU due to what looks like rub on eagles breast feathers.

Ms Liberty's left breast and the upper feathers on the eagle appear to have some rub. As stated this coin exhibits zero luster because of it's cloudy, flat appearance.

 

If you give it an acetone bath followed by a warm water rinse what we see may go away, restoring the coin to a consistent brightness. If that doesn't work, the coin is probably terminal.

 

I'm concerned that if you have many others that look the same, something with storage might be a factor. Time to find out what you have.

 

Let us know.
