Great Britain 1819 crown (5 shillings, .925 fine silver - British currency was expressed in pounds sterling, which gave rise to the description of anything produced in silver of this fineness as being made of "sterling silver"). Raised edge lettering: "ANNO REGNI LIX DECUS ET TUTAMEN" (translation: "REGNAL YEAR 59 AN ORNAMENT AND A SAFEGUARD" ) The edge lettering often seen as protection against filing off of the precious metal around the edge.

No mention of grades here....but I can say it's the same as 8 times 8.

Reason I ask is because I also have a 1913-S type 2 which is an 8 times 8 too. I guessed yours was that grade due to the soft strike that happens on this issue. This is mine-

Yeah, I agree. However, I bought mine for the color...as is my wont.
Mine also has that oval shaped "device" attached to it as well.

A lovely set of halves courtesy of @winesteven

Thanks Alex. Nice composite.
For the viewers, several of the holders are beat up, so the lines you see are on the holders, not the coins.
Eldo, the magi formula to rub those out?
Thanks.

Any marks you see are grossly exaggerated from casting shadows when imaging. This peace dollar is pretty clean.
