sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/06/2022 9:04 pm Nearly Fine ( British grading) In the British grading system, for a coin to be graded 'Fine', all of the design detail has to have full relief height and shape, with no flat spots on the high points of the design. This coin almost, but does not quite make it to to the 'Fine' grade level. Britannia's shoulder is the most obvious area for this coin to not make 'Fine'. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/06/2022 10:26 pm I'll say F-15 on the Sheldon scale. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 05:54 am I can go as high as a VF-30 Sheldon, but not an EF though. So I suppose the British fine would be equivalent to our EF-40... Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 06:15 am According to my grading guide it is well past fine. If anything I would grade this aVF - lots of detail there, the shield can have a flat centre at fine and the Britannia almost a silhouette, here the detail is around 67% complete and there is more to this coin than expected. Victoria has a considerable amount of frock and hair detail. This is a pretty good piece and honest (Not cleaned). Report this Post to the Staff
