Would you call this coin "high grade...sharp"???

Link


Maybe I am just in a crabby mood, but "high grade" and "sharp" are not terms I would choose to describe this coin. What do you folks think?

  • It's a fair description relatively speaking, for a circulated coin.

    Actually, I think that coin is pretty sharp. I think that for many series, and for many collectors with average financial resources, AU is a high grade. I'm pretty picky with how people describe their coins (or don't describe them) on ebay, but I have no problem with that one...

    I agree, I wouldn't use these terms on this coin either.....

    My description would be along the lines of nice AU original skin kinda comment.....
