1934-And-1936-Sixpence-Grades

1934-And-1936-Sixpence-Grades

I picked up two sixpenses today that I think grade better than my previous ones. This one has the middle pearls nicely visable.

It has better luster than the pics.

I agree, top one 1934 is a high VF/ near EF (Two pearls from middle diamond still joined) high VF = high XF American.

1936 is barely VF, there is more wear there, 2nd set of perals blurred, 3rd invisible, middle diamond meets rim of crown.

These are still well above examples for these dates, most KGV Kiwi Sixpences are really worn and George is but a silhouette, your coins are highly collectible and beautiful examples!

Even better with the New Zealand series, is the obverses (Tails) were always deeply sunk and had high rims, so you can have full details at VF grade (Except the Florin - that Kiwi will always show wear up to AU).

I keep thinking they are mint state coins, but I guess I am wrong. I don't really have a grading manual for these coins, like I do with US coins and I am not even certain of the high spots to look for wear. I thought the fidelity of the pearls was an issue of strike, not wear.
