Looks genuine, I have not looked at a grading book but seems to be XF-AU Details Cleaned. I would pay $100-$150.

Genuine and very nice. I say AU or so with a value of $200-250.

It certainly is a lovely looking coin!
The seller is someone I trust, he has owned the coin for many years,I just wanted another opinion so thank you for your comments
I can buy this for £100 which seems to be a pretty good price

Genuine, AU-50 or so, most attractive.

Appears genuine, leaning toward an Overton 105, but would need clearer picture or in hand to verify.
It appears not be any of the rarer Overtons for that date.
£100 is a great price on it.

Looks real and AU in grade. The only thing that concerns me is the black mark on the reverse which may preclude a problem free grade. Still well worth the price you were offered. I'd say do it.

Nice AU-50 or slightly better. IMHO, if you can get it for $200 or less, grab it!

Old cleaning. Its come back, but the darkness in the protected areas around the stars and in the shield on the reverse indicates at some point it was cleaned to brighten it up.
