    To me that is XF because of the flatness on the chest.

    Nice. But I was curious, is that color just from the lighting?

    Guys:
    My first reaction was that it has wear, but check the date: 1940 S!
    Aside from the 1941 S, 1942 S and the 1943 S, the 1940 S (I believe) is one of the worst strikes.
    You can't compare them to the Phillies or Denver from the same time period.

    It doesn't look so flat in the hand. I've tried a few times to photo this coin and its the hardest coin I've ever photoed. The color is slightly yellow compared to the real thing. The actual coins are very white with some decent shine.

    I think it probably passes as an UNC coin based on how poorly most 1940-S Walkers were struck.

    Look by the edge, next to the eagle. Very nice walker. Feathers have very nice detail IMO.

    This one looks closest to the actual coin in hand.
