HP2001PH Valued Member Germany 312 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 11:24 am I love the design of this one. They are quite expensive (I guess 200-300 €+, flawless attractive copies much higher) in AU or MS state, so I settled for this (for starters). I think it looks quite pleasant, with honest wear without large detracting nicks or gouges (reverse field is probably the weak point). Oh, I think that has been cleaned some time ago. Hard to find coins of this condition (circiulated) and age that haven't though. In the US system I would suggest a VF-30 or -35, but I am not really sure. hat do you say?

Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 204 Posts	Posted 08/01/2022 10:47 am VF-35 for me. It's a gorgeous coin indeed. I don't know if it was cleaned or not though. Report this Post to the Staff
