frank wasson New Member Australia 49 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:37 pm I am thinking about purchasing a 1831 Netherlands 3 gulden coin. Could anyone, as I very much hope, tell me whether the coin is cleaned (it appears strongly to me) and what its overall grading (out of 70) roughly is.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 02:27 am I don't know about the coin or grade, but it does appear to me to have been polished and/or buffed. Edit: As a WAG, I'll say it would grade VF Details if you submitted it. Edited by spru 01/06/2018 02:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

(see my recent post: an odd pair of 8 reales) not a bad coin ; all depends on the price Report this Post to the Staff
frank wasson New Member Australia 49 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 05:26 am Thank you for your helpful comments. The seller is asking 900 euros (fixed) for the 3 gulden coin. Is that reasonable, low, or excessive? The one thing that bothers me about the coin is that the anchor below the bust seems to be quite broad and flat. I never though about the idea of the coin being possibly used in a pendant in the past. Cheers, Frank Report this Post to the Staff

frank wasson New Member Australia 49 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 05:48 am I use https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1431749 as the rough price guide for these coins. The 3 gulden coin at https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6552.html being sold on ebay (namely this coin https://www.ebay.com/itm/Netherland...m1438.l2649) is of better overall quality but it has a much higher mintage which is reflected in the ncgcoin price guide.

1c5d7n5m Pillar of the Community Belgium 1185 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 06:08 am I agree that for 900 euro's and a bit of patience (very important for a coin collector) you could obtain a piece with a better quality (VF+ - no edge problems) Report this Post to the Staff
