jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 01:45 am At that price I would buy it immediately. I will buy it from you for even more. Edited by jimbucks 11/12/2014 01:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bas S Warwick Pillar of the Community New Zealand 526 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 01:51 am Thanks Jimbucks. What is your opinion of actual value considering condition? Edited by Bas S Warwick 11/12/2014 01:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 01:56 am From pics I would say it is a cleaned XF, but could be a whizzed VF. So many fakes out there though. If it is genuine it should be at least a $150 coin -- perhaps more. The chance is whether or not it is fake. Can't tell from pics, but for $31 probably worth a chance unless something is obviously wrong. Your email is turned off, but you can contact me via my email if you wish for more details.

I'm in Australia at the moment, so I cant get it delivered until early next week. BTW. Didnt realise my email was off - its on now. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15400 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 8:09 pm Appears authentic to me based on those photos. Definitely cleaned and likely a technical grade of XF. Nice price if you wish to add a problem (cleaned) coin to your collection. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Bas S Warwick Pillar of the Community New Zealand 526 Posts	Posted 11/12/2014 11:31 pm Thanks for the replies The seller has assured me 'in his words' It shows no sign of cleaning.. it has a light tone typical of its age, and light wear to high points Comes with guarantee - Coin can be returned if not happy. Whats its value if it is a cleaned coin? Report this Post to the Staff
