I definitely am not as expert as any of the responders but can someone explain to an amateur if the pearls in the crown are worn (off) wouldn't that drop it below an AU grade ? Thanks for any explanation that can teach me more
They are not worn off, but are worn a bit. That might make it hit AU50, but in my opinion it has been rubbed enough to make it ef45. Those pearls in the crown, as well as the tip of the moustache and the eyebrow, are the high points to look out for in terms of "the slightest amount of wear".
