sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 9:16 pm Obv.: Perhaps there is the tiniest amount of wear on the orb above the crown, the highest points of the beard and moustache, and also perhaps the cheek area under the eye. Those spots have long since been covered with a patina. Rev.: Long since patinated over scratches at 2 o'clock, and a ding on the outside of the inner circle. Otherwise looks unworn. I assume the edge has no bumps, because the rims don't reveal any. Not quite unculated, but close to it, details. Report this Post to the Staff

The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 11:19 pm with Enworb regarding the flaw thoughts. Is there a flattening of the inner circle rim near the top of the P (as in PENNY)? Edited by The Unicorn 05/09/2013 11:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe an aUnc- It's better than gEF for me but I just can't seem to settle on a straight aUnc. That said, It's a real nice coin that anyone would be proud to have in their collection.

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/09/2013 11:52 pm I really cant see it better than EF. Possibly stretch to gEF. Report this Post to the Staff
stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 01:03 am In this condition would $60 be a fair price for this one? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 02:48 am I think you could do better. For a little bit more you could get a coin with some lustre. 1927 is one of the easiest dates in the penny series to get 8 pearls and up to EF grades. Report this Post to the Staff
