I'll say G-06, just a stab since I know next to nothing about these. Remarkable coin.

My "wish I had one of those" coins
I would think a little better at VG8 but maybe it may have some environmental damage as many do by strict grading standards. That one definately should be certified by NGC PCGS or ANACS and heavily insured.

the obverse looks to be in the F12 area and the reverse VG10. a beautiful coin that I cant find any issues with. I'm thinking it was slabbed at VG10 but its a top end VG10

Great coin, looks VG-10 to me. Perhaps a trace of porosity but should grade problem-free.
Wish I had one!

Solid for the year, no real problems a very choice example. VG10 to me EAC & PCGS might actually agree on this one, I could see a VG8 from the EAC'ers too. I'm still learning to grade EAC it's an ongoing process that I might never finish.

Pretty sure GERMANICVS doesn't have his coins slabbed, nor plans to. I wouldn't either, these are the kind of coins you want raw! IMHO of course.

Thank you for your grade opinions.

I personally would grade this VG7 to VG8, with details of a VG10-F12.
The surface is slightly grainy, mainly on the reverse which causes a reduction.

As westcoin mentions, I do no slab the coppers in my collection.
