I know these are traded mostly as bullion pieces, but this coin serves two purposes for me. It does act as bullion, but I also collect Swiss coins. This is my first world gold piece and I'm interested in your grade opinions on this one! You can see some lustre in this image, but it is a bit stronger in hand.

Edit: Also, just noticed this doubling... I'm sure it's just machine doubling. Any ideas?

    Coin is probably Unc. with some rub or abrasions on her cheek so maybe a 60 or 61. Hard to tell from photo.

    No idea how common the doubling is.

    Maybe MS62, but not worth a slabbing fee, IMO.

    Machine doubling, so no extra value other than strict bullion (melt) value.

    Anyway, your Vreneli is the best 20th c. gold design, in my somewhat biased view, that is. image

    AU 61? Too much contact for an unc grade to me although I do definately agree that is a lovely design.
    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    Oxymoran. I think they made the grade AU58 for this occasion.

    Yes, of a purpose - that is a joke! Also a play on a grade that is somewhat garbage for many coins!!
