Is that rim damage at 3 o'clock on the 2nd picture? I did not see this previously, but yes, there is rim damage, although less than the AU ++ shown in the listing DBM linked: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-AU-Ban...em27c398a55e Upon closer inspection, I noticed a few minor scratches on my coin, but a strong light is needed to see them. Quote: Look at the details of this one on ebay.You can see in comparison how much has been lost on your coin due to wear. If I'm being honest, I don't see much difference between the one you linked and mine, apart from the one you linked being lighter in colour, and with a less faded GB flag. I think my picture does not display my coin accurately, probably due to the plastic film. I will have to take it to a coin dealer to get an idea of the grade as I'm not really a coin collector.

Just a nice patina. I was offered $75 for it just yesterday. It's one of the nicer ones I've come across and it's one of my favorites in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

I used your first pix, brightened a bit: Compare detail on the crown, swirls and beads on the corny-cope-ya, handle of the swored. Compare top of helmet, cape, head of horse, rider's leg and swored, horse tail. Report this Post to the Staff
