sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 11:12 pm The Swiss are very hard on grading their own coins, this one perhaps good VF, and would have a value of 10 euros or so. 400,000 of them were struck. ref.: Munzenkatalog.ch Catalogue des monnaies (2009).- Zurich. I would have preferred to grade it good EF, maybe AU50 Sheldon. In that grade, it would have been valued at six times as much. Edited by sel_69l 10/12/2013 11:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 02:28 am I don't see an AU here, for sure, or even an XF, and I'm not Swiss. I don't even live in Switzerland anymore! I say VF. -SCS Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 12:37 pm I think it would grade AU-50, there's not enough wear for a VF. Edited by Joseph7420 10/13/2013 12:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyJames Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 10:14 am I think I agree with a strong VF, maybe a 30. Good details with some wear. The surface has no luster, and I would expect a better surface quality in the fields for an XF. Report this Post to the Staff
