John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 5:31 pm Snowman,What grade would you say it is? 0.9 Pure-does that mean 90% silver? 0.7234 ASW-does that mean German silver? Thanks again, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 7:30 pm My bad. I should have written 0.7234 oz. ASW, or just less than 3/4 of an ounce Actual Silver Weight. German issilver very different. It is actually a very debased silver. Yes your coin is 90% silver. As far as a grade is concerned, I would grade this very fine. **editted for bad grammar Edited by snowman 10/05/2009 10:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16920 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 9:24 pm Alfonso XIII became king at the moment he was born, his father Alfonso XII having died of tuberculosis. The portraits used on his coins changed several times as he grew up, from these coins where he is an infant, through his teenage years to adulthood. Quote: Edge has two of these straight lines I believe that's the collar die seam, where the two halves of the collar come together when the coin is struck. Similar features can be seen on all coins of the period that have lettered or decorated edges (such as US gold 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 Report this Post to the Staff
