glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 11:59 am Hello Julian, looks like a beauty! Any plans to have it I.C.C.S., slabbed? Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 12:11 pm Certainly thinking about though I don't like their slabs as you can't always see the coin that well. I thought it was a high grade and the auction house, which is reputable, said in UK grades EF or better, so that translates to MS in my view....but someone commented XF/Low Au........tell me I'm not going blind please....

windychimes Valued Member Canada 250 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 1:05 pm I'd say you are definitely not going blind! Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 1:25 pm Over on another forum they are say 61/62 as the obverse is probably a soft strike which one can mistake for wear. Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 5:31 pm Scans are a bit blurred for the Reverse Crown jewel area, however, it appears this may be somewhere between and EF-45 -to- AU-55. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 5:49 pm Wonderful coin to add to any collection. An 05 is such a tough date to find in such a nice grade as this one is.... I just love the Reverse in these years.. Report this Post to the Staff

marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 6:51 pm So far, comments on grade have been over the place, from XF45-MS64. A well known and respected dealer in Canada with 30 years exp said is was well into MS.....so I will just send it for grading and will let you all know 'how the chips fall.'

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 7:13 pm From the pictures, it's diificult to tell the grade. I agree with the current 'spread' of au55 to ms64. My gut tells me it's closer to ms63 Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 7:24 pm Hold a contest, whoever guesses the closest grade wins the coin! Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
marbury518 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 552 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 10:29 pm Doubleeagle59 agrees with the 63 opined by the Canadian dealer I referred to. Report this Post to the Staff
jello_g Valued Member Canada 108 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 10:48 pm The picture appears lower contrast than what the coin may look to the eye in hand. Whether intentional or not, this can often hide defects but at the same time make a high grade coin look inferior. Got a feeling the nice picture posted doesn't do the coin justice. MS64.
