Guess the grade 0

[leeg]

Very seldom have I've ever done a guess the grade.  I just let the coin speak for itself. Let's give this Newp a try. Please let me know your thoughts. This will go in my Type Set:

[rrantique]

MS65+

[Henri Charriere]

A solid Mint State 67

[Sandon]

   This 1942 Walking Liberty half dollar appears to be a proof, not a circulation strike. Based upon the photos, I would estimate the grade as PF 65-66.

66 Pretty coin.

[J P M]

It is a nice looking coin, I will say 66+

[Coinbuf]

I'm at PF64.

[Just Bob]

PR65

I bet the colors look much better in hand.

MS 66* or Pf 66? 

[Redline68]

My opinion was PR66 or even R67. I'll split the difference at PR66+

[leeg]

NGC PF 66

[Jason Abshier]

PR/PF 65

 

edit* didn’t see @leeg posted the results already wasn’t reading the rest of the post … lol!

I do not know enough about these to say that is a proof or not. The strike is very good, I have seen business strikes that good and better, but it was in a specialist friend's collection and over 30 years ago.As for a number grade? If I had the asking price in my pocket I would buy it. I grade these more on strike than anything else, and this is nearly fully struck so it is a delicious coin,  perhaps 66, not quite good enough for more, but well worth owning.

My guess would be, from looking at the obverse only, PF 65. There are some light scratches around the rim, and some blemishes, but overall a outstanding coin!

I continue to stand firm on my initial MS-67 assessment.  If this were a PROOF, someone well-versed in this series would have to explain the presence, on Liberty's upper thigh, of the four (4) equally-spaced "dots" rendered NW to SE, as well as the clearly identifiable mark best described as a symbol of freemasonry. This was no inadvertent PMD. Both are precise and distinctive. NOTE: I would not have shelled out $1.37 MM for this coin as I believe it to be prohibitive. 🤣
