Thanks for looking.

I would probably grade AU but your opinion would be appreciated.

I have just received the coin and if those lines on the obverse are fingerprints they are not mine.

Pity about the finger prints. Ok I'll have a go....The reverse is nicely struck, with underlying mint lustre and a little spot of verdigris, but the obverse is either a weak strike and showing wear or a combination of both on the crown, beard and cape. Mid EF maybe?

Thanks for your replies.

Here's a close up, what do you think, weak strike ? worn ? cleaned ?

Ok, I'm going to say EF on this one, there is some wear on the crown. I'm looking at the orb on the crown and that looks like a flat spot to me.
Also the cross up to the orb on the crown looks to show wear as well.

Probably has been cleaned and wouldn't be worth much in that grade
