Here's a 1930 I would appreciate some opinions on? All six pictures are of the same coin just using different backgrounds. I have a hard time getting decent pictures but I hope these are sufficient. Cheers, Bill       |

That reverse really pops out. Great strike, gorgeous. I'd give it MS-64 just for that, but the rim nick and deep ding next to the mustache probably knocks it down a peg.

Agree 62, mishandling brings it down.

Second look - also seems to be an interesting die crack from bottom of bust all the way through middle of GEORGIVS, most evident in center photo.

ICCS would grade it au58, as I highly doubt they would grade it an MS coin.

I thank all who have commented so far it's greatly appreciated.
I'm a sucker for raw coins and they're becoming harder and harder to find. I picked this one up with the thoughts of it being an AU grade.
In hand I believe it has a full strike with proper pressure because of the crown band having all eight dots showing and the jewels running down the kings chest are full although not distinct.
I also believe the obverse die was well worn by the time this coin was minted hence the lack of sharpness in the finer details and the presents of the circular die cracks running through a good portion of the legend.
The hairlines present in the photos are not visible when using a 10X or !6X loop so I now believe it may slide by as an MS coin.
I'll be bringing this one to the next coin show hoping that others will take a look at it in hand and from there I'll get an even better understanding of the grade.
Again thanks to all.
Cheers, Bill
