Hi, Everyone.

How would you grade this coin, from the picture? It's on ebay and I'm
thinking of bidding.

I won't attempt to grade from the scan, but do I see a rim disturbance at
about 4:00?

It would be helpful if we had both sides of the coin to evaluate. The
observe image that you have posted was photographed in such a way that it
has distracting shadows that prevent the viewer from seeing the coin "head
on." Without being able to see the reverse, I'd grade the coin at Extremely
Fine to Almost Uncirculated.

I'm with Larry on this one. A better picture and a picture of the reverse
would help, but from what I can tell, it should grade EF-40/45. Wear is
evident on the right arm, breast and left hand. No evidence of cleaning that I
can see.

And it may be a photo glitch but something is up at the 4:00 position. Not
major, but something.

Given the weakness of strike common to many Walkers, I wouldn't be too quick to
attribute any of what you mentioned to wear.

However, the lighting used to photograph this coin pretty much obscures any
luster on Ms. Liberty and makes the determination impossible.

In a case like this I would simply move on to the next auction. There is no
shortage of high quality Walkers in this date range. Why take a chance when you
can't be sure?
