Wow, VF is very harsh, I think even CGS would go better than that?


To me (hence personal opinion) this is EF

I would give it GVF.
There is wear beyond EF and a fair share of dings.
I still like it but why on earth slab it?
Book value about £70 ish worth to dealer £25 ish (slabbing £20?)

Thanks Rooney for the grading compliment.There is plenty of over grading about.

many thanks for the quoting tip RD and, absolutely, yes, personal opinions are what makes any and all forums the great venues they are!

Re Peter1234, yes, I have been reading around some of his posts!

Thanks for all your input. No slab it is. So if I were to put it on ebay I should expect around $50?

I would expect more like double that, i.e. $100 USD ... I agree with GVF, if not GVF + :) ... Not really worth slabbing a $50 coin is it? (to sell ...) But might well recoup the outlay on this one IMHO.

In all honesty I probably did overcook it a little bit, I think Paulus' GVF 'and better' is a place I'm happy at!

Welcome Jim to the club
It is very well selling to other collectors on ebay with dubious grades going back and forth.
However auctions & dealers will cut us poor collectors to shreds come selling day.That £400 EF becomes a £100 VF

Nothing wrong with being a strict grader.

Picture is a close up of a coin that is VF/EF

Compare with the top section of the coin of the OP's F/VF

Peter, did I read somewhere that you are pretty good with early hammered id? Or was it someone else. Got a few I could use a hand with, not really my thing.

Hi Met
I'm keen and feel confident on the basics.
However;
Clive of HistoricCoins.com
Rob of RPCoins
TWowoodheart (Richard) for Charles 1
These are fountains of knowledge.

There are many more specialists who will be willing to assist / help.
The list is a who's who of the UK coin market and beyond.

Many read this forum and some post.None bite.
