Anyways, what are any opinions on grade and value? A pretty sweet find it was very pleasant to find it when I paid cheap for the lot. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 03/12/2016 08:22 am I would call it VF. the edge bumps are typical. It is listed as $65 by Krause in this grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 03/12/2016 10:25 am I would agree with VF. Here in Germany, for a VF the grid structure of the shield in the very middle has to be visible. This is the case here. Best Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/12/2016 11:19 am Thanks for the opinions! What would make it XF? My initial thought was high VF low XF. Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 03/12/2016 2:56 pm Well I'd say without the edge bumps and with a little less wear that piece would be XF, but that is just my opinion. This coin is in a very good shape though, regarding the fact that these coins were circulating for quite some time. I am collecting the Prussian issues of German Empire coins and those early mark coins with the small eagle (like yours) often look heavily circulated. This one would cost here in Germany probably around 60 € and if I was you I'd keep it :) Best from Berlin Report this Post to the Staff
paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/12/2016 10:53 pm For XF you need a good rim, more hair detail on the front, and only trivial wear on the shield. The face always shows more wear than the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
