Mak New Member Denmark 13 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 04:15 am In my search for an image of the Swedish 2 kronor 1910 W far from date variety, I came across a couple of auctions on ebay, claiming to be that coin: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sweden-Silve...em3f5bbc6037 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sweden-1910...161052269073 One is even graded by NGC, but I'm pretty sure they are both just the considerably LESS rare "close to date" coin. Looking at this image, the "far from date" should be quite easily distinguished: http://latviancoins.lv/index.php?ro...id=152675283 I don't use ebay myself, so I don't have an account there, but I'd hate to see someone buy these coins and spending $100 on a $16 coin (VF20 grade, https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-150103) Report this Post to the Staff

Mak New Member Denmark 13 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 07:01 am That's not good... I also found an ebay auction with a PCGS graded coin also stating that it's a "far from date" variant, but the seller has corrected this in the description: Holder wrongly indicates that this is a rare "Initials far from date". This is normal type, nevertheless it's still scarce and especially scarce in this designated grade. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sweden-2-kr...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff
