pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 3:44 pm I'd say AU-53 Obverse given the wear on Mr. Tsar's hair, The Reverse looks good enough to be Unc. Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 5:45 pm I'm going to agree with AU details/cleaned, net XF. Report this Post to the Staff
stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 6:05 pm The coin deffinitely has XF+/AUNC detail, but it looks a little wrong to me. It's either because of the picture, or because it was cleaned or something. I don't know, but I'd say this coin is an XF. Report this Post to the Staff
Scottishmoney Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 7:35 pm I look at the Tsar's beard and hair details and think you guys are being generous on the grade. IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 7:55 pm Just the hair looks worn to me to be AU. I still think the reverse is almost unworn. Report this Post to the Staff
Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 8:15 pm Foreign coins are graded differently. They typically don't use the 70 point US version of grading. The grading is a little tougher also. With that said, I would say this is EF. Report this Post to the Staff
