Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 5:17 pm Happy Christmas ! Zfr on the Netherlands scale equates to UK VF. The crown on the reverse is fairly sharp but there is a lot of wear on the lion and the horizontal lines on the shield are not distinct. I think the grade is between F and VF - so GF (or perhaps Fraai+ on the Netherlands scale). Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 5:21 pm I agree with Pertinax. That is immediately how I saw it. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 5:32 pm I disagree with F-VF. As you can see, this coin is graded F-VF and is much worse then mine: https://www.ma-shops.com/henzen/item.php?id=52401 It could be of course that the Dutch seller overgrades his coin.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 10:24 am From American grading I would have no issue calling this an EF45. Nice looking coin. KK Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 1:11 pm I am planning to do a quick dip in acetone when the coin arrives to see if I can get rid of the black spots. Perhaps that will make the lines on the shields a bit more clear. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 01/06/2021 7:13 pm The coin arrived today. I soaked it in acetone for about 30 minutes. Not sure if it did anything, but the photos of the coin afterwards are shown below: Report this Post to the Staff
