Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/03/2008 10:54 pm G'day, nice coin. You've mislabelled your pics. Your coin shows less wear than most I've seen, of that type & vintage. Yours has even wear, and no damage, in the sense of dings. Peter Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Finger Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 06/03/2008 11:09 pm I would give it a VF....But,It could be seen as an XF,I suppose Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 12:12 am Since I know nothing about grading French coins, I'll try to apply strict US criteria. This coin has obvious moderate wear to the reverse wreath. Both rims show loss of sharpness to the denticles. The emperor's hair is well-detailed but his laurel "crown" is pretty heavily worn. The color looks original and as Peter from Oz points out, there is no damage. I'd give it a VF20 overall. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 04:20 am I was thinking VF too, but I'm a strict grader. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
