Nice cinquefoil stops crown.
What price is it?
I will give it VF.
It may well of been given the acetone treatment to lose its 170 years of crud but I haven't a problem with this.
These are very sought after coins in EF+.

Nice Crown that, looks to have a very good edge too, I'd say it's a lovely example of VF! Not easy find the mid-range, larger denomination, pieces without digs, knocks, bruises and, why not, one for luck, dings! Price will be the deciding factor, unless of course you are already smitten with it? Then it doesn't matter quite so much! :)

I'll go along with VF, and it has eye appeal too, which is a key factor for me! :)

Uhm, I don't get it. When the same thing was done to the crown I bought, you guys thought it was "junk silver". When it's done to an older crown it's ok ? :) Here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1844-QUEEN-...em54001caa54Still 4 days left in the auction, and already out of my budget. :D |

To be honest with you, at least when looking at the images on my phone, I can't see that very much has actually been DONE at all? The most it may have had is a soak which, even if acetone was used, would do little more on a silver coin than remove grease and residues! I think removing potentially damaging residues would be accepted practice anywhere, museums included!

Choice EF is of course very much over the top, but this is to be expected on the 'Bay! :-)

Thank you for your reply ElizabethTudor, could you also tell me your opinion on the crown I actually did purchase (it's on page 2 of this thread). Thank you in advance.
I think I might need to get my eyes checked. Or, as many of you have suggested, "trained" (the brain, not the eyes :P).

My apologies, but I cannot add anything further to what's been said, unfortunately. It's a pretty good grade, so your eyes are tuned into that aspect, so not all bad, but it has been polished to within an inch of its life, sadly.
My personal thoughts are it's not dipped! To get it that 'bright', would have dulled/blanched the surfaces a little bit more than they appear to be in your images. I think polished! Sorry!

If I remember the other crown had been dipped in "silver dip" and glinted like a soldiers button.
This one is...shall I say dodgy at its source.
I won't divulge more on an open forum but this one is being(was being) sold under his wife's account.
1/- = Shilling...shall I say.

Looks like that's the default setting, even if you add your email address to your profile ... it's the same for you Ad_Lit, I have just changed my setting.

Thank you, Paulus. I've modified my settings accordingly. I just hope peter1234 sees this and decides to accept a small chat with me.

I'm sure he will! I've got the impression he likes talking about coins?
