I have an interest in Austrian Netherlands coins, but they're vanishingly rare on the market, even if reasonably-priced.   |

My Gulden arrived a week or three ago, its a nic-ish 1794 West Friesland item with some die cracks top and bottom. Someone cleaned it though :(  |

I'm nowheres near ready to reliably grade these yet, Jim. My best guess is in the neighborhood of F/VF for mine and VG/F for yours. They both have large contrasts between obverse and reverse, and I think mine is better detailed through the cross. |

Thanks Jim. I think I'll be on the look out for a better one though. The cleaning is pretty ugly.

I expected some cleaning. I was hoping it hadn't been in the last few years and would have toned over by now. This looks like a fresh polish to me.

Ahh that is the difference and Old cleaning from Th 1800's would of mad for a beautiful coin but one last week does not do it any jutice .
Dave I like yours better becuase of the color I exspect mine was cleaned at some point, But overall I would say my reverse has more detail on the devices like the crowns but it is lacking on the cross as compared to yours, Now except for that spot that was rubed across the ear of your I would say Your obverse is better.. Overall Yours to me has greater eye appeal and At the top of this specific post I thought I was abel to argue my coin vs yours and the grade taht you would have given, However it is proving to be more difficult as I reach the bottom of this responce. I believe you are now mostly right on except I would say Mine is heavy on the Fine side and your weak on the Vf side. I would love to hear other opions on these two.

Jim, it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, with yours being a relatively small scan and mine being a high-res photo, and you know what they say about the grade of the one you own.  I think I can agree with your opinion of the relative grades, though. |

I recently bought this Brabant 1/2 ducaton with a nice portrait of PHILIPPE IV (of Spain) and two lions on the reverse. The date is not clear but I think it is a 1635.  |
