I'm pretty exicted about this coin I found. (Well, Mr. Finger and KurtS spotted it out of a pile of random coins I posted in another thread, So I have to give thanks them for noticing it. )

I checked this worth and I'm wondering if this coin might actually be worth more then 100$, but I'm not too sure about it's condition though.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, Could someone tell what grade it is though? I'm thinking about selling it (Off-forum) and I wanted to be accurate.

Palestine coins are notoriously tricky to grade, because there are very few distinctive "high points" to spot wear. I find them hard enough to grade in-hand, let alone from a photo.

For such coins, I tend to fall back on looking for bag-marks, edge knocks and lustre as main indicators of condition. In this case, I'd say an American EF is a good possibility. The streakiness running through the English word "MILS" appears to be from imperfect alloy mixing in the planchet; I've seen that on several other Palestine cupronickel coins.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
