.
PCGS graded Proof 67+.
CAC Approved
. Lovely light
gold toning. Only 5,728 minted. An unusually high quality coin
for a 1937 Proof Walking Liberty, this specimen displays riveting
lustrous satin surfaces, is untoned, with superb sharp detail
including all skirt details and an impeccable eagle. Probably a
good many are not nearly as well struck as this piece, with no
suggestion or even a whisper of weakness at high points.

.
NGC graded MS-68
. Wispy light obverse toning. A
lovely, pristine Gem, there are no offending bagmarks or prob-
lems of any sort on either side. Since our observation is that this
P-mint issue is almost always fully struck, then this sharp coin
has every suggestion of precision manufacture as seen in Lib-
erty, the eagle, and the various legends.

.
PCGS graded Proof 68.
CAC Approved
. Lovely
hint of rainbow tone on both sides. Virtually perfect smooth
fields distribute light in every direction form the surface
reflection. In order to understand the near-perfect grade
further, notice that the coin is struck with care only now
and then found, and primarily on the few Proofs distributed
to coin collectors; when it comes to the usual business
strike softness at the centers, this carefully made Proof, on
the contrary, received a full strike by the dies. Only 15,412
minted.
