The photos are not the best to judge a coin. My first impression is that it is not going to be anything above VF due to wear.

Thank you friend. But it should be the picture, because it is exceptionally well preserved. I have searched parameters of such money as weight , texture edge , diameter , and can not find . Do you know where I can find? Thank you so much again

Hi!
This is an exeptionally rare coin, and in this grade it is a very valuable piece. They usually grade around VG/G. This is what we would consider Fine in norway.
I am interested in the coin, and would pay top bucks for it.

Do you have a picture of the edge, I am concerned that this is a modern forgery.

And for rarity, I would say less than 20 known.

I am sorry to say, this is a modern forgery from China. I can see that, based on the reeded edge.
If it was geniuine, it would be a coin valued at $3000 or there about.
I have one from 1827 wich is basicly identical. Same edge, and weighs 10.11 grams. The coin is also to circular, as the ones made in 1820's, isn't as circular.
But that is life.

Thank you friend. I imagined ... very conserved and the parameters do not match. I do not understand why the Chinese do it. Spoil part of the pleasure of collecting coins . A big hug and thank you!

Have they made forgeries of this one too? Wasn't aware of that. Depressing stuff.
