Patience pays off

[gpnyc]

I've been looking for a WLH for years to add to my collection. My criteria were quite simple, so I thought, but the search took a long long time. I wanted a non-1940's, non-proof, with blinding luster and a great strike. I finally I found one... picked up this coin months ago and finally got these great images done by Mark Goodman. Feel free to guess the grade:

Easy MS66. Potentially 67. A few Obverse hits may hold it back from 67.

 

I like it and applaud your patient hunting.

Congratulations on the amazing new acquisition. I love the strike and the luster. I am inclined to call it MS66+ with a few minor ticks keeping it from a 67.

65+ coin. Nice looking walker.

Patience truly is a virtue when it comes to coins. Very nice. 65 with shot at 66 for the luster.

[Catbert]

Wow - the strike is wonderful. 66? Great coin.

[Coindude]

Blazing luster. As Carl stated a few ticks on the obverse keep this from 67 although with listed like this 67 wouldn't shock me. 66+

It looks MS 66 to me. Razor sharp and brilliant!

Reverse stunning, nearly perfect. Obverse has one issue at the sun rays. Great coin. I love looking at it

My Grade 66 because of the one flaw on the obverse

What the image doesn't convey is the absolutely blinding luster. Which is why NGC gave it a star. The coin is residing comfortably in a 67* holder.

The luster is probably what pushed the coin over to MS67 from NGC's perspective. It is a gorgeous piece.

That and the strike. This is a well-produced Philadelphia issue but this particular example is over the top. One of the sharpest I've seen.
