molydeii- It is kind of dark, but I think that it is a VF-30 at least, maybe even a bit better. Not a bad find!

It has a very nice chocolate colour toning on it, almost like a minor patina.
The ship and the bun hair is very detailed in hand, I was thinking about vf/vf+ ib UK terms of grading which is around vf-30 I think.
I have to learn numeric grading sometime I assume:)
Thank you very much for grading all my coins, Archraz.
