markj113 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 1:36 pm Hello all, Just joined and this is my first post. I come from a bullion/modern collectible background and have just dipped my toe into the interesting world of old historic coins so I am a complete newbie with zero knowledge of grading (not so popular here in the UK) I have just purchased the below Philip II 2 Escudos Cob from the Toledo mint from a well established coin dealer in France and was wondering if its worth getting it sent off for grading. The cross seems nicely centered with a fairly good strike and the shield side has most of the crown. Apologies for the poor quality pics, taken with a camera phone, 2 with flash, 1 without.

Check with the third party grader. Could be a weak strike or just wear. Look at a few more of the on that wonderful internet auction site we all love. She how yours stacks up and then decide. Personally I hate slabs, I like to hold coins in my hands. I guess I'm getting old. Think of all those old coins that survived all those years without slabs. KK Report this Post to the Staff
