NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17901 Posts	Posted 05/27/2019 6:25 pm Reverse is much better than the obverse. Necklace is well defined but edge of hair very poorly defined. It wouldn't get a VF grade in the UK, although it's actually quite a nice coin as they are frequently found worn flat.

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 11:38 am You find most of the British coins from around that time are a lesser grade on the obverse than the reverse, and some of that is down to a weak strike. They had gone for much deeper portraits than before and the machinery was not quite up to it. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 8:08 pm Boy, especially looking at the reverse, it's hard to believe this coin could only grade Fine or VF at best. Report this Post to the Staff
peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 03:50 am That is how they are graded in the UK.Plus it has inherent problems of appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
