svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/04/2010 6:38 pm What do you think is going on here? Weak strike? Filled die? Both? I don't see much wear on the coin. How would you grade it? Thanks for help! Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/04/2010 6:59 pm And another thing, now that I'm looking at it. Do you think it's KM 3.1 struck at Heaton (would there be a MM?) or KM 12.4 under the heading "Local Coinage"? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/12/2010 3:40 pm OK, here's a bigger pic if that helps. Opinions anyone? On the KM# issue. I noticed a slight difference in size. 3.1 is a bit below 25 mm, 12.4 is a bit above that. Provided that Krause's scans are accurate (?) mine is KM 12.4 With the strike issues I still would appreciate your help. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 12:38 pm Hi, bobo, Yours has a nice full strike, and a part of the legend on mine just disappears. I'd like to know how it might have happened. Report this Post to the Staff
bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 12:53 pm Yes, your coin looks EF or AU maybe, interesting strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 2:53 pm I totally agree with bobo13 in that this coin is probably EF or AU. Just remember that colonial coins often were poorly made since quality control was very low in the colonies. (In fact, for colonial coin collectors such as me, it is at times more of a challenge to find examples that do not have defects/ mint errors). So all in all a nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/13/2010 3:46 pm So, could we say it's a filled die? Report this Post to the Staff
