Raw flea market find. Beautiful chocolate surfaces and a interesting die state.

    N-16 (r-1+) Obverse at the face/neck looks a little off but the Noyes plate for the variety looks similar so it may be just fine. EAC 25 if I had to guess. If it slabbed, it would be 10 points higher, IMO.

    I could be wrong. I started to write EAC 30 but didn't think there was enough hair detail for a 30. And while I am a member of EAC, I am by no means a copper expert and I suspect there are many folks out there more knowledgeable.

    Commercial EF-40, EAC grade VF-25. I'd call it a VF-30.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    I'm not good at these, but it looks like a 30-35 to my eyes

    Well, I grade even tighter than EAC, I grade it a Fine-12 aren't I a super-conservative grader?

    (but just like EAC, I'd price it at the correct grade, which is IMO is VF38)

    Me too, beings it isn't my coin. But if it was my coin it becomes a VF-35. In all reality though it is prolly a Vf-25.image
