Thanks a lot! Edited by Lex1705 03/24/2010 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/24/2010 2:40 pm to the community This is a beautiful coin, and it would probably grade at MS-65. Years ago collectors would coat there coins with varnish to preserve its luster and protect from damage. This is something that is no longer done because the varnish discolors and can damage the coin. It's very difficult to remove the old varnish and I recommend not trying to do so. In this condition this coin could be worth above $400. However the varnish is going to effect the value somewhat. You may want to consider finding a coin conservator and having them professionally remove the varnish. Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 04/02/2010 08:02 am Best is to ebay them I guess, no one is going to buy a coin worth more thana couple of quids withput using paypal. I've seen many scams and cons going around in coin forums lately, please do not offend, but I would possibly beware using any other method than PayPal when buying from abroad. The latter coin seems to be cleaned sometime ago, it's a cleaned gVF, at least it seemed so, to my eye. Report this Post to the Staff
