Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 08:42 am I am quite curious how would my raw coin below, a 1786 Carolus III 8 reales be graded by our co-members... How I wish TPG companies would open a branch here in our country so that we can easily have our coins graded... Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 1:42 pm Nice coin. If the weakness of detail in the hair, clasp and clothing is from weak strike then I would say EF also but if that is from wear I would say VF. On the reverse the Plus Ultra is stuck up nice and the coin doesn't appear to have any damage. Can't make a "color" judgement from a photo but all in all a really nice 8. I personally think all the Carlos III 8's are much scarcer in EF and above with no problems than the value guides show. I try to pick up any that I see that are high grade with good eye appeal.

Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 05/03/2010 01:46 am Wow thank you guys for the super nice grade, all the while I thought it's only on a VF category because of the weak strike on the 3 fleur de lis at the reverse. Yes it's true it could be hard to find on an XF detail, though I really wish for a TPG company to put up a branch here in our country. If that time comes, I guess I'll have majority of my coins slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
