That's a real beauty! Looks like there is some slight wear on the highest points of the leaves and on the eagle feathers. AU58 slider.

Your right, that's a wonderful looking coin....  I'm by no means a pro and will never claim to be...just my 2 cents

Thanks everyone. I've sent it to NGC as it is very reflective and I hope it makes MS. Either way I'm keeping it, the colour is stunning. Unsure if there is slight wear to the high points or it was a weak strike. As the lustre is very reflective I am inclined to say it is a weak strike but I shall update when I know the grade. |

Love that toning! Please let us know what NGC determines. As for myself, I see wear, and call it an AU. |

Certainly will do. There seems to be a 3 month wait at the moment at NGC, they are currently opening packages received from the week commencing 22nd Nov. |

Lovely toning and coin - but some obvious wear. This would be a high EF/low AU coin.
By the way 25 kopeks was known as a Polipoltnik to the Old Russians. A Poltina was 50 Kopeks and Poli meant half.
Loving Halfcrowns. British and Commonwealth coins 1750 - 1950 and anything Kiwi.
If it's round, shiny and silvery I will love it.
