TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 12:49 pm I bought this 1911 shilling as from the photos of the seller it looked like a MS coin. I've taken my own photos, the ear is really not worn at all and appears to be the highest point. AU58? Or am I way off here? Opinions welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 1:06 pm Nice strike but lots of small scratches. I would put it GVF to AEF. (Using the UK standard grading, not Sheldon.) Edited by PaddyB 05/12/2021 1:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 6:43 pm In American standards this looks like high XF or low AU to me. I'll go with AU50 Report this Post to the Staff

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 5:39 pm GVF? AEF? I wouldn't dismiss the slightly higher grade, and I'm sure many dealers would list it as such. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 6:13 pm I'll say AU-50 (Sheldon). Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 01:42 am EF to gEF British grading. Strike was always poor on these, gEF often have full lustre. Light overall rubbing on the hair of the king and moustache tip. The Lion also has some wear on its nose and this is not stroke as the high rim (Addded to KGV issues of Edward designs like the Lions and the Half crown shields) stopped the lack of detail on poor strike. Its better than EF, I think some comments like "Tatty GVF" are incredibly harsh. Not all of us can afford stunning MS65 coins all the time and we should encourage rather than insult or belittle people with more ordinary coins. In my opinion, this shilling is nice and I would be honoured to have it in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
