mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 256 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 05:28 am Thank you for all the replies, PaddyB this was a purchase from ebay. I managed to catch the listing at the right time. The listing only showed the reverse of the coin, but I took a chance. Report this Post to the Staff
Worldcoins01 New Member United Kingdom 33 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 6:47 pm Wow! What a catch! If we go by the Sheldon grading scale I would have to say MS 63 / 64 details cleaned. American companies are generally a LOT more lenient on jubilee crowns that aren't from 1887, especially 1888. There is some softness in the brooch Victoria has but it doesn't seem like wear. The way I've been able to tell apart AU jubilee crowns from MS is if you can see all of St George's knuckles holding the sword and if the horse has a both an eyelid and eye that havent blended together. Also any flatness on the dragons chest / Victoria's veil. Great score &. Worth £110+ any day of the week My Ms 63 for comparison Report this Post to the Staff
