johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 6:25 pm I collect low-mid circulated grades of 5 Marks but I am not an expert at all, I don't have a grading guide, so I try to look at graded examples when I get a chance. It seems to me, though, that this example is really over graded. I would put it more in the VF 20 range, if that. What are your opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 6:35 pm Typical soft strike for this issue, so even uncirculated pieces look to be circulated on the high points. But I'd be at 35 rather than 20 or 40. Soft strike DOES NOT affect numerical grade, although it certainly affects eye appeal and value. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 8:21 pm I know this is not and answer to your question (I defer to @moxking's experience on that), but why anyone would have paid to have it graded is a mystery. Unless I am missing something, I see coins of similar quality (and some better) selling for under $50. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexthegreat Valued Member Germany 157 Posts	Posted 10/29/2019 6:50 pm I don't know if it is overgradet or not. But thats not important at all. This coin has almost no value besides the silver. It is not hard to find much better examples for a rather low price :-) Report this Post to the Staff
