Bike chain injury on the neck.
Lots of tiny dings on the high points - especially the reverse.
Very little, if any wear on the mustache, eyebrow and beard - this is where you look when grading British George V coins.
I really prefer to grade non U.S. coins by British grading system, but since NGC has had a go, then
MS-60, but I wouldn't be surprised if NCG graded up to MS-62.

Very uncomely for The Konge af Danmark!  I think that neck takes a lot of hits. I am somewhere around 63-64. Only the cheek concerns me. Let's say 63. |

MS-63 sounds about right.

It should be an MS-60 or 61, whether or not NGC put it there, I do not know. This appears to be an older holder, so it might be correct. I have one an old holder at 63 that looks exponentially better than this. https://norantyki.com/european-coin...ner-NGC-ms63Edited by norantyki

@ norantyki
Exponentially better? No offense, but I honestly cannot tell from the pictures in the link.

@MasterKromm - granted I used exponentially for hyperbolic effect - substantially would be a more apt description. The horrific contact marks on the portrait and cabinet rubbing (although not yet what I would consider true wear) throughout make a huge difference in the UNC grades, especially with coins of this type which are regularly available in top-notch UNC.

MS-62. Some good sized marks on the obverse.

Okay, sorry for the delay... Also, again, bad lighting and no macro this time. FWIW, bad lighting + oblique shooting to make good use of artificial light tends to create shadows + marks/dings look worse for it.  So, no joke, my LCS co-owner + a gold coin aficionado said without the marks 67-68. |
