Hello,

This is from an upcoming ebay auction I plan to bid on. How do you think it would grade? Looks to have awesome details so I was hoping for XF. Then again, I always like to have others opinions.

Some of the high point on this coin are quite sharp, (crown) other high areas are quite flat (lion's hip); that lead me to the idea that this coin has suffered from a weak strike.

XF, weak strike.
Light gouge marks don't help, although somwhat masked by the patina. Adjust your bid accordongly.

I cannot pick fakes with these, but from the pictures this one looks OK to me.
