Thinking of bidding on this and would like some opinions on grade. Do you think it's a British EF?
What's the 2004 Spink price? Text Thanks

Yes, not gEF just EF. I still need a Bill and Mary for my Monarch set.

Undoubtedly EF. Probably GEF and possibly AU. I haven't got my book but it's about £1250 in EF. They seem to have checked for varieites with the ESC no...

i don't know what the exact variety is but Spink 2004 lists 1250 pounds as the minimum for EF. Some varieties are as much as 2500 pounds in EF.

I think it makes EF by British standards and it is truly a great looking coin. Don't have Spink available, at the moment. This is worthy of the most serious consideration. Good luck

Brit EF...yep. But, I detect to flan defects; one on the obv. and a larger on the rev. I suspect this would lower the value from a solid EF price.

Looks like the area is one of a more problematic alloying rather than the typical haymarking streaks seen on issues of this period.

FWIW, I would net the coin as only an AU-50 (US) due to the flan. But, otherwise the surfaces look very nice.

Thanks for the help with this one everybody. It was a pretty major purchase for me.
