I'm trying to get additional information about the coins I have from the UK but don't know which online source is reliable. Thanks again for any information provided. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 09:29 am By American standards, I think there's enough detail left in the Victoria portrait to claw its way in the VG range, maybe even gets to F12 if the grader happened to feel very generous (or hungover).

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 09:30 am I agree. Not quite VG. I recommend the Standard Guide to Grading British Coins by D F Allen. Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 11:52 am I have the above reference. Comparing this coin with photos on p76 and p220, this coin is less than 'fair'. UK 'fair' = US 'good', rating as 4 on the Sheldon scale. ( ref p9 same source ). Sorry, but using that book as a guide, I would only rate this as UK poor. Report this Post to the Staff
pwa 1967 Valued Member United Kingdom 190 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 12:36 pm I can understand were your coming from.However I use FAIR as being the lowest grade possible GOOD then VERY GOOD. Not that it matters as long as the poster gets the general idea. Report this Post to the Staff
