Zarboy Valued Member South Africa 169 Posts	Posted 11/15/2010 11:59 pm This was the last one I needed for the full set of ZAR coins(Excl golds). I just got this one(At a hefty price). Please give it your grade, I would like to see if I have overpaid[B )] on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 11/16/2010 12:16 am Beautiful piece! I don't know these series in particular, but offhand I'd say this is at least a 4, if not better. Is there wear in the hair behind his ear or on the higher part of the beard? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/16/2010 09:22 am Very nice coin, really like the tone. I'd give it a grade of AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 11/16/2010 12:27 pm AU58 or MS64? Kind of a big spread! Anyone else want to venture an opinion? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/16/2010 2:43 pm I usually do not participate in grading discussions (and I still wouldn't venture putting a number on it), but besides a big thumbprint on the obverse I don't see any wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 11/16/2010 4:06 pm Might just scrape an MS60.... brilliant toning! I've always wanted an 1893, not managed so far. If your willing to share how much it cost i'd be very interested to know www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
Zarboy Valued Member South Africa 169 Posts	Posted 11/17/2010 12:04 am Thanks guys, The 2009 Herns Handbook gives this as $677.50 in EF and as $2032.50 in UNC. Also thought this to be stronger than a EF, so I paid $ 521.00 for it. I will have to wait to get it in hand to see what state it is in. nasty little print on it, it also looks like maybe some old cleaning present, but overall I think a good buy. Well it is a scarce coin and the last one needed, so I will pay anything.(This makes me a collector right?) Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 11/17/2010 03:14 am I still don't see how this thing doesn't make a strong Unc; I've seen coins with this color and even a fingerprint make 3s and 4s. Look at the high points with a loupe when you get it, and report back. I'd be curious to know whether you think it's been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
