plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 6:46 pm Just got this and it was in my wish list for quite long time as its the only crown from Crete during British rule. It weighs 24.83g and has few imperfections , couple of small rim bumps and few small cuts on obverse. Here is a one to compare , not sure if it is a replica though, http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19991.html Would this fit in to VF ? how bad the rim bumps and cuts will be for value ?

plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 09:58 am Hi Pertinax, it does not seems to be a cast , however I am still learning. It is not magnetic and very close to the spec weigh of 25g (24.83g), also sounds silver. I have addd few additional photos for further feedback. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 1:41 pm I guess the MA shop has over graded coins wrt to this variety. I could be wrong but I believe mine is very close to these listed here. http://www.ma-shops.com/shops/searc...hmen&lang=en This one is ridiculously graded at VF http://www.ma-shops.com/schwarz/ite...=645&lang=en Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 5:10 pm Now that I see your later pictures, I grade yours F12/F15 details. I think http://www.ma-shops.com/stadler/ite...5008&lang=en should be graded VG10/VG8 and http://www.ma-shops.com/schwarz/ite...=645&lang=en at VG8/FR2 Many of Dr. Stadler MÃ¼nzen & Medaillen's British Victoria coins seem overgraded too, some substantially overgraded. Mind you, it's often difficult to grade coins not in your normal series, especially if you haven't seen them before. Report this Post to the Staff
