drowning Valued Member Australia 66 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 10:44 am Came across this 1926 Sixpence in a pile of junk silver and am trying to estimate grading. Am I being overly optimistic with XF? Edited by drowning 05/14/2021 10:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 5:43 pm almost VG is where this happens to be. To get to F with an Oz Sixpence, all of the main design features have to have full relief height above the fields. If there any worn flat areas, VG or less has to be the right grade.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 6:01 pm Being .925 fine silver there is over $2 worth of silver in this coin. If found in a pile of junk coins for less than this price, you have still done OK. Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 04:47 am Yes you are. This coin is very worn and been cleaned, hence why it's shininess may unwittingly make less experienced collectors think its high grade. The level of wear on George suggests a high VG level coin and the wear on the obverse has the roo and emu flat. Advance Australia is visible but weak. However it is more worn than the other side. Overall - goodVG - VG10 Report this Post to the Staff
