Hi, would anybody like to comment on the grade of my 1703 sixpence? Going through my coins and cataloging and sending some away to be slabbed. Does this make a Fine Grade? Thanks.   |

Not being a fan of slabbing coins, I do not know for sure how the grading companies will go with that. I suspect they will pick up on the off-centre strike and the heavy wear on parts of the rim.
I would give the obverse just short of Fine, but the reverse a safe Fine if it were going into my own collection.

Thanks for response PaddyB. I think I'll just label this one Fine and keep it as it is.

For comparison, here's an example accurately graded as Fine by London Coin Auctions.  |

Thanks, the obverse is not as good as that one but the reverse seems similar.

Agree with Hogarth and IndianGold Eagle.
The Obverse - just above VG and reverse is close to fine, some great detail.
Overall gVG - aFine.
Nice and interesting piece!

10: obv + 12: rev = 10: overall at TPG |

Perhaps I'm a bit late on this, but this is a shilling unless I'm very much mistaken. Agree with the grading though, average is fine, obv a bit under rev a little better.

The London coins people are tough graders, that coin is close to VF I would say, at least gFine.
I agree with Tatton, that coin looks bigger than a 6d and more like a shilling.

I agree P. If shown those London Coin photos without knowing the grade assigned I would have said Good Fine too, and a strong one at that.
The OP coin though has too much wear for Fine. It's Fair obv. Near fine rev.
