I think AU55 but a larger photo out of the flip would help with the grading

That was may thought when I purchased it Joseph... once in hand i'll post better pics. I see no wear, great luster, minor contact marks (minus the on the reverse which is a little bigger).. I would think it would be ms-62

If it was taken out of the 2x2 I would guess it could go MS-60 anyway.

Coin looks Unc, but surfaces seem to be a little 'choppy'.

I'd give it an au55 to au58.

From the picture, the surfaces of the obverse look a little irregular (could be bag marks) and the vertical pearls on the crown look slightly rubbed, although that could just be the effect of the lighting on the mylar.

If no rub, I would give it MS60. If rub, AU58.

Again, hard to tell from the picture. If there is any wear on the jewels, moustache tip, eye brow, or shoulder robe, then I would go with AU58. If there is no wear, I would say MS63. Too many little marks, especially on the rim to go 64.

Beautiful lustre on this one. Erring on the side of picky, there seems to be some rim irregularities along the top.

If there was no wear, this coin would be MS60.

However, I think this coin has seen some circulation.
The king's beard and jacket are a little indistinct.
Obverse die wear also has had some part to play in the appearance of this coin.

It has retained most of it's attractive radial mint lustre.

AU55 to 58 range.
