    Heavy die polish but looks like it'll slab somewhere on the AU58-MS62 wheel (depending on the grader, their mood that day, phase of the moon, etc.)

    AU 58 or lower
    I like Ikes!! But I especially like Viking Ships, Swedish Plate Money, and all coins Scandinavian.

    I agree AU

    Great detail on the coin and showing in the picture, though the contrast is a tad to high
    for me - washing out the fields a bit too much.

    AU.

    There is visible wear on the crowns and the eagles' eyebrow.

    Nice coin though image

    One person's "wear" is another person's "cabinet friction". I see no evidence of circulation, but would probably call it a "slider" to be on the safe side.
  • critocrito Posts: 1,735 ✭
    The way I judge circulation is by breaks in the luster, if that helps any.

    Being from Denmark I use the Scandinavian standard for grading and it's somewhat tougher than the US standard. What you would call cabinet friction I would call very light wear - that's the reason for the difference.
