jagoedo Valued Member Belgium 54 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 06:29 am Hello, I recently purchased this example. How would you grade this coin? It has a small rainbow shine which cannot be seen on the pictures. I think that the coin has been dipped but not sure. Thanks! Edited by jagoedo 01/24/2015 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

PatAR Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 3:27 pm Based on the photos I'd say EF45. I really like that reverse design! Report this Post to the Staff
jagoedo Valued Member Belgium 54 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 03:54 am Thanks! It's indeed a nice design. The person I bought it from sold it as an AU (het pictures weren't clear and I had no time to ask for new ones). But since there are 2 varieties of this coin (complete and uncomplete cross on the crown) with the former being scarcer, I didn't make much fuss about it :) It was a small gamble.
