VG 8 details. #2 Odd color, rim damage, is it real? If so vf details. #3 Why are the high points of the bust silver while the rest of the coin is dark? Marks above the ear on the bust. VF details if real. #4 Graffiti above ear on bust? VG details. #5 Big rim dent on reverse at 9:30. I have seen the rose patina on some coins I bought for bullion. It is definitely cleaning damage. EF damage. Report this Post to the Staff
plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 8:39 pm WestwoodArms, Thank you for the feedback, it really helps. I have not noticed the Graffiti until you have pointed out, something for me to look out. For #2 Augsburg thaler, the weight seems to be correct (22.80g) given the rim damage. However I am not sure about the reason for dark color. I have found a similar coin with better grade 27.85g, http://coinoftheworld.blogspot.com/...er-coin.html For #3 again the weight (14.85g) seems to be correct. Report this Post to the Staff
