Not sure of the grades but took a chance on an auction in Germany and bought these 1945 and 1947's...don't think the 47 is a desirable variety.   |

85 euro for the 45 and 60 for the 47......a decent slab result and I would imagine a decent purchase......not sure of grades based of these scans though...

great coins, the 1947 is the blunt 7 variety which is the most common of the varieties for that year. both coins appear atleast AU from the images provided.
Feel free to call me Will.

Both coins were graded as VorzĂĽglich which is AU55-MS62.....I imagine the 47 is nearer the former and the 45 nearer the latter.....we'll see.

Hello marbury518. Those are nice looking dollars. You might want to double check their authenticity though. The 5 in the date of 1945 appears to have the wrong shape - it is too short and pointed at the bottom. Hopefully it's just a problem with the image.

The 4 and 7 don't seem quite right either, maybe it's just the lighting. Post some new pics when you have them in hand.

Wow you guys really have an eye! I didn't even think anything was wrong with either.... one thing I can't understand is that if someone goes to such great lengths to get so many of the other details of the coin exact.. how come they can't get the font on the coin correct... this just baffles me!
* I say this only about counterfieting in general.... not saying these coins are counterfiet.... just something that popped into my head as I was reading this thread... Marbury I really hope these coins are legit!*

I have not paid for either and have asked Kunker to investigate.........I looked at the Charlton catalogue and the 5 is too short at the base and too pointed as was noted.....I simply won't pay.....end of. Thanks for saving me getting ripped off....I might have been able to return them but it is a long drawn out process.

Better safe than sorry, I looked all over at a bunch of 1945 5s and it is different.
