That is cool!

AU55

I tend to be conservative and think it's EF45.

OriginalDan

AU50? What's going on with the date?

lordmarcovan

I'll agree with AU, though I'd have a deuce of a time deciding which flat areas were a result of strike and which a result of light wear.

I'll say AU53 and be the first to confess that's a stab in the dark, based on luster, mostly.

Nice lookin' coin. Boy, there's some crazy doubling or repunching goin' on with the date, isn't there? Neat.

marcmoish

Should grade better than EF for EA (def has EF wear and tear) if I need to guess I'd be content with AU55.

7Jaguars

IMO EF45. Please look at the edges as well! I agree with LM that it was softly struck but there still is wear, if light to this coin.

I think a better question would be "What's the date on this Honduras peso?"

ormandh

It is the overdate 1894/82. -Dan

It looks like the 8 is over something other than an 8, also.

Seems like an awlful lot of wear to be an xf. Vf+ IMHO

I like it, I've never seen one of those, how many did they Make?

I'm thinking AU53/55

MrEureka

I'll go for MS63.

CaptHenway

AU-58? Hard to grade from a photograph.

My guess is au 50 seems to have some luster left.

It crossed!

marcmoish

while there is def some wear or rub it seems this one fooled most.

In the subsequent photo it obviously is NOT what I thought - it does look way better than the upper photos which makes this fun and truly guess the grade

There is no doubt in my mind thats a 62 looking at it now - nice !

Now get that silly grin off your face

great, another world silver crown I have to add to my collection now.

Nice cross. I still stand by my issues - those edge "dings" should be big point losers which nobody else seemed to address, and also the flag/banner at 10:00 has significant abrasion. Multiple other sites of this same phenomenon as well; I realize that sometimes these are considered planchet prep issues, but good Lord, I don't get it with this coin which I like (and appears MUCH better in slab complete with the edge issues somewhat hidden.

Still congrats on a good eye!

Mr. Eureka, I would have thought the edge dings alone enough to keep it out of 63 territory.

Mr. Eureka, I would have thought the edge dings alone enough to keep it out of 63 territory.


If the coin were otherwise MS69, the edge dings might take it down to 65. At the lower MS grades, the damage would knock the coin down by roughly one point. Not that there are any set rules on this sort of stuff, of course. Anyway, 62 may indeed be the best grade for the coin. Tough to say, especially when grading a coin from an image.
