jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 695 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 6:43 pm I collect papal medals not coins. But sometimes I pick a coin just because it looks nice. This is one suck. Common, is found on sale for its silver price. But I liked it. The iconography was so fitting for a Vatican coin: wheat and grapes. Now it makes a good subject to try to guess grade. What MS would this one be? Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 695 Posts	Posted 04/29/2026 1:06 pm Thanks. For this coin grade is irrelevant but I anted to compare my impression with others. I had thought a bit better, as there is no wear at all. like MS64 ou 65. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75774 Posts	Posted 04/29/2026 2:38 pm You could be right. I'm by no means an expert at grading. I try my best, but I'm still learning how to grade coins. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9530 Posts	Posted 04/29/2026 7:31 pm I recently acquired 8 Vatican coin sets. All the 500L lire coins were taken out for their silver value I'm guessing. Made the rest of the set a lot cheaper. Edited by triggersmob 04/29/2026 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 695 Posts	Posted 05/11/2026 5:40 pm I am also often too optimistic Thanks for the opinions. I will not put any to the test as this is a common coin. Shows I am not alone in finding these more recent silver coins hard to grade on that scale. Report this Post to the Staff
