Grade of these Walking Liberty halves?

[namster]

Just plucked these out of the wild, and was wondering if any of them might breach the barrier to MS60. Thanks in advance for your input!

The 1st and 3rd are the better ones. The 1st is a slider. Strictly graded, it should be AU-58, but with the right eye, it might slide up into the MS-60. The '43 is much better. It would easily grade a 60 perhaps pushing a 62. There are a few marks in the field that aren't overly distracting. There is one mark and I'm not sure if it was the scan, but there is something going on with her right breast. Whatever you do, don't toss these ladies in your junk pile. Even the 2nd and 4th ones carry a premium over melt. Now most silver stackers won't pay the premium, but a coin collector shouldn't hesitate in buying these for a premium over melt. Nice finds.

DD, thank you very much for your evaluation of the coins. Im totally amazed these came out of a box, and more amazed the machine didn't mess them up. Imagine if they had been found in a CWR. Ill put them all in 2x2s.
