I've been waiting patiently for this French crown to arrive in the international mail. What grade you would assign?
What do you like or don't like about it? (sellers photos)

Pictures aren't the best, but maybe AU?

It's well struck but the rim looks a little banged up. It's a lightly circulated piece that may be cleaned but not harshly cleaned.

SUP55.

A lovely piece. A couple of dings, but they do not disturb much. 5 o'clock on the obverse, there is a weakness in the strike of the letters?

Au58, possibly with some polishing.

If it's genuine, a superb piece.

Is the weight and diameter correct?

Is it magnetic?

I haven't seen forgeries of this type but forgeries of Napoleonic and later 5 franc coins are common.

Possible AU details, cleaned.

Very nice coin. PL surfaces but I still think this one was cleaned. No toning of any kind after 192 years?

Yes it stands to reason that it has been lightly dipped sometime over the past two centuries. If so, it was done expertly without diminishing the luster.

I'm at AU details (cleaned), but I hope not!
