captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 11:59 pm Just seeking a little advice as I'm new to coins. I just bought this British sovereign and paid a premium for an "AU" coin (not in a slab, though). The coin has some rim damage, though, which I did not expect on an AU. Normally, this wouldn't bother me except that I paid a premium over an average circulation coin. To return or not to return is the question!? Thanks for any advice. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/04/2019 05:00 am .9167 (22ct) gold is soft, and is relatively subject to dents. It would be better if the rim dents were not there. I cannot see obvious signs of minor wear. If the rim dents were not there, the rest of the coin, which has lots of minor dings and scratches, would grade at at MS60. Perhaps the seller was being honest by grading it at AU, and I would agree with that. Report this Post to the Staff
