Not sure what to make of the rainbow colors on the obverse. The reverse looks more like fools gold.

Regardless, how about technical merit? I'm trying to get a gauge on the wear.

gosh scoob, I'm terrible at this grading thing but looking at the details on the coin, I'd have to say this is up there in the XF category in terms of wear (or lack thereof) All of the high points look to be pretty sharp (as an example the little piggy ears) and all of the detail on the sound board of the harp looks like it has had little wear.

Thanks weavus.

All the grading info I see is in written text. I'm a picture kinda guy.

I see the various degrees of wear on this lot I'm going through, but not sure what categories they fall in. I can pick out the AU's and BU's pretty easily! LOL!
