vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 03:50 am Hello Forum members, I am wondering what grade you should give this coin? My opinion is EF. And I am also wondering how you call the small dents in the edge of the coin? Is this couse of striking or jewelery? How does it called? Hope to hear from you, Best regards, Vincent Report this Post to the Staff

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 05:47 am Hi Vincent. My guess is that the marks, as you've suggested, might be due to a jewellery mount that has been removed. As to grade, these coins aren't really my area, but I would suggest a bit lower grade. These crowns were quite well struck with good detail and can have a fair amount of wear and still look good. But I will let more experienced British members here give the final say as exactly how much wear you can get but still consider it EF I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 08:21 am Auction houses won't accept it due to the damage. I would suggest it is worth bullion and not a collectors item. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/27/2014 7:56 pm Bit of a mystery that an auction house would not accept it. I see no reason at all why this coin cannot be auctioned with a full, accurate and truthful description. There are buyers at ALL price levels. If I were to describe this coin as an auction lot, I would look closely, edge on, at his coin, before deciding on an estimate. Report this Post to the Staff
