Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 9:41 pm vermontensium- hmm really, AU? I was thinking around EF. But I may be wrong. The odd thing is that I usually ask for second opinions in grading since I tend to over grade. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 9:50 pm After a second look, could be XF but if it is, I'd say 45 not 40. I am usually very conservative on my grading and tend to undergrade sometimes. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/15/2008 10:01 pm Well, I think that these coins often had strong strikes, and the green tone (which does not appear to be either verdigris or PVC damage) does not look the best. But one very nice feature that my scanner did not pick up is that there is some original luster around some of the lettering and around Britannia's head and shoulder. Report this Post to the Staff
