I take it that this coin is scanned and not photographed. Scanning is not complementary for coins but it does show the condition (warts and all). I would imagine if you used a camera on this coin it would look far better. gVF hardly any wear on the high points and the details of the coin are pretty much intact  I would grade it aEF but the verdegris on the coin is enough to drop a grade. |

For about 6 months I used NZ and GB florins as 20c coins (same mass and diameter) to pay for parking at Adelaide Uni  . I got them way way below 20c each. Yes it took me about 5 minutes to get enough in there but it was worth it. It was the difference between being able to drive or have to catch the bus. Thatll teach the council to gimme a fine  Edited by enworb

The scan showed detail very well. For higher grade coin with lustre scans can be terrible for grading but for lower to mid grade coins scans are great.

Yes. IMO the scan is much better for the reasons I pointed out above.
