rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 09:47 am PS - I just noticed the highest part of the king's hair above his ear looks like it's worn in the photo, but that is just glare. In hand the detail of his hair is perfect. Report this Post to the Staff
Illegaltender Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 12:12 pm Based on the description and the photos it looks MS, i'll take a stab at 64, but let the experts chime in. The toning is very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1222 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 12:29 pm I'am seeing wear on the unicorn & lions hip and legs, love the toning but I think it would be hard pressed to reach AU. Great looking coin all the same. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 4:54 pm Ticks in left obverse field hold it to 63; I see no wear at all personally. Report this Post to the Staff
pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 5:05 pm Is that a die crack through the crown? Looks like au55 to ms60 to me. Report this Post to the Staff

rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 1:11 pm Many thanks all. I'll call it an AU-55 as a consensus average. Good spot pginrh - that is a die crack that starts at the Union Jack runs through the crown all the way to the fleur de lis. Doesn't show up very well in the pics. Makes me love this coin even more.

rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 9:01 pm Just an update - the crack is actually a die clash "die clash on reverse #1186" according to Coins and Canada. Can you confirm this as the correct designation pgrinh? Thanks in advance. Love my coin with new ardor. Edited by rockfish 04/04/2017 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 9:39 pm Pretty sure that this is the die crack that Hans Zoell catalogued as variety FL444n. In its later die state it does spread to the rim on the left. It is not a die clash. Looking at my earlier die state coin and it matches yours. Report this Post to the Staff
rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 10:31 am Thanks pginrh. I will note that variety on the 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
