AU55/58 on the nickel, no opinion on the rupee. Personally, I couldn't justify the cost of sending in the nickel at that grade, so I'd leave it be.

Although we may be able to look at on screen pictures and perhaps give an opinion based on what we see,
A third party grader has five advantages that we don't:-
1. examining under 10X magnification
2. ideal lighting conditions,
3. raw, hand held,
4. extensive comparative experience over hundreds of coins of the same type and
5. not under plastic.
For these reasons, I will always favor the declared slab grade, despite the fact that they sometimes get it slightly wrong.
If you are not happy with the slab grade you have to either
a). swallow your pride and still accept, or
b). pay the extra fees for re submission.
For various reasons, none of my coins are slabbed.

AU53 on the V-nickel, don't know enough with the rupee, guessing it's in the VF range.

I couldn't find a graded example of the Burmese 1/4 Pe for comparison, but PCGS seems to be all over the map on sub-AU grades for the silver types of this era with similar design. Look at the XF details coin in the first link with far worse detail than your coin, followed by the VF details in the second. https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...7daebd727ff2https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...7f81689192a2If the grader felt it was a weak strike rather than wear, maybe you get into an XF? I'm not a fan of slabbed coins in my collection, so if these were mine and I didn't like the grade, I might just remove them from the slabs. But if your goal is to have the best grade you can get from a TPG, sounds like you have good consensus here on what you might get with re-submitting. |

Patience is a virtue ... (and demands more popcorn) @navycapt, after checking ebay on that 1/4 Pe, yeah, seems it should merit XF pretty handily. Whether it's worth it or not is a different question. Edited by tdziemia

Folks,
Thanks. I did respond to your question about the ANACS Grades, but it doesn't seem to have gone through. ANACS graded the Nickel AU-53 (not labeled as "cleaned"), and the rupee as VF-25.
Best,
Bill

Doesn't look under graded. Everybody said from AU53 to 58 and VF so looks Anacs called it.

I think the grades too generous.
The Nickel has flat patches at the bottom of the wreath and plants things, the face is quite flat and some hair detail. Even Liberty's lips show wear.
I would say XF45 for that (Which is gVF in our Money)
Burmese Rupee, looks copper brown - must be very toned. I would say gFine at most (British money which is VF american).

Burmese Rupee, looks copper brown I thought it was a smaller denomination copper coin. Goes to show what I know about 19th c. Burmese coins. |
