Fancy 5


is that a variety on this series? I purchased this for my type set and I am not a copper/bronze student so I am unaware of these attributes

I will post higher light pics over the weekend

EF-40 and maybe 45 with better photos. Fancy 5 carries no greater premium than the straight top 5.

Tough to tell, but could be EF40.

The D in GOD, and the E in WE, (in the motto) appear missing(?) but that may be the picture, or could be a sign of corrosion.

More light, more details, please!!

I agree, better photos will help - as is EF40/45.

That's a nice coin. Looking forward to a pic with better lighting.
The rim is very clean which is the first place I look to see if the coin
is entering the AU-MS area

dsfree, coin looks better in these new photos, probably in the AU range. Is the dark line a scratch on the reverse in the 7 O'Clock position?

Sorry I still cant be definitive your pictures just don't have the resolution to give an accurate grade.
It could be anywhere from EF to Low MS there appears to be some rub on the high points so I would Bid up to AU money on ebay based on these pics. They could also however be lighting artifacts.

Even with a low end camera you can still take good pics.
