A newp for my 1869 set -- Hungarian Forint

mercurydimeguy

Appreciate your input, the coins is super original in hand...the toning on the back is a bit more attractive in person because the surfaces are semi-PL.

My input is that is a very nice coin!

Looks fantastic to me!

Sweet coin. I like the angels in the design and the subtle colorful toning!

Tibor

A well struck coin. Usually a soft strike in the beard area.
Very original with no evidence of cleaning as is often encountered.
Nice addition.

I think it would be an outstanding coin for my Hungarian set

It's a tad modern and large for MY Hungarian set.

PatAR

Very nice! That rim toning on obverse is very appealing.

Zohar

Agree with all here. Your images are superb.

As posted in another thread, just had grades post on a batch of 12 coins I had submitted.



Grade posted is below...



On the one hand, I had zero body bags! That's always an impressive feat when sending in 10+ raw coins. On the other hand, a lot of the coins were hand picked (raw and NGC) and really super for the grade... Anyhow, doing the set in PCGS plastic I have learned to live with the methodology that PCGS uses to grade foreign coins. This way I don't lose sleep at night



Edited to add: Phil took some really good photos of this coin to show off the PL nature of it, probably used Axial lighting that is very warm (his colors are a little warmer than the actual coin colors). The coin is definitely PL and you can see it best in his images...62+?? Hmm..what would I give for all my 62+ coins to look like this
