greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 6:58 pm Well trout, if it was mine I would grade it a a Good VF, but I am sure others in the forum will disagree and grade it F, others may grade it EF., but hey, that just my opinion and I love the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm trying to help you not to make costly errors. http://www.argentumandcoins.co.uk/1...9-2636-p.asp Report this Post to the Staff
greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 5:17 pm Peter, I actually made a typo in my grading, I had intended to put a Good Fine grade, not a good VF, With ref to you comments regarding my perceived grades, and the tears when I want to sell them, I have been collecting for approx 35years or more now, and my grades are totally irrelevant as I have absolutely no intention of selling any of my graded coins, I collect as a hobby, I only sell old duplicate coins which are normally low grade or scrap which have been bought as bulk lots and sorted. However MOST of my coin collection Post 1950s are of PROOF or BUNC standard, of which there can be no abiguity, earlier coins pre 1950 are mostly simple bits of metal with a date to fill collections where the grade is irrelevant, the grade of some may creep into VF but mostly lower, I collect coins within my means, and with the odd exception on here, they are for my viewing pleasure.
