However, I really like it; large, heavy sterling silver, young Victoria head, beautiful reverse, lots of detail. My nicest British coin I think. What are your comments and grade estimate?

They are a substantial piece and that one has great detail and good eye appear even with the wear. Grade is as you see it - it doesn't really matter what people say - it's a very nice coin.

Therefore good EF. no mint lustre, but a nice patina. Possible light cleaning many decades ago? Minor edge bumps. It's a full grade better than mine. Jaobler......you like it? So do I. Don't worry too much if you think you overpaid. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2871 Posts	Posted 11/09/2011 07:01 am That's why I never really "grade" coins because it's all so subjective - and there must be different standards throughout the world. To me this would never be an EF because of the wear on the harp, the lions faces, the jewelry on the crown, the rim dings and the obverse gouges on the cheek and the wear on the hair. But it doesn't really matter - because it's a fantastic coin.
