I just received this from my favorite dealer in Italy, but strange as it might seem I never thought to check details on this coin. It arrived and I was like, whoa? It's big, like a Morgan dollar. Crazy, for some reason I thought it was somewhere between the size of a 25C and 50C piece, but I guess I was wrong.
BTW...what do you think he'll grade? I'm thinking something AU...is that about right?
Anyhow, newest addition to the set

A 5L coin is a crown-sized piece. As for the grade, when the image is as big as my monitor, it's too hard to properly assess the grade. Try shrinking the image down to 500x500px per side.
Just press CTRL and - (minus/dash) keys on your keboard for a magic trick.

Bet you were pleasantly surprised, huh.
As to GTG, I suppose AU50 is not impossible on that piece, but I'd expect something more like XF45 from a TPG.

Advice heeded regarding sizes
Simply do that move on any post/pic, and even a newbie like EVP can handle it ..lol
While me likes this crown something on reverse is off.. unsure what I see..thats not toning or is it? I would be hesitant to say AU here..def subtle wear on both sides, going to say XF45 also, and that's if the reverse is kosher. Otherwise might be bagged.

I'll use that tip in a twenty minutes when the image finishes downloading on my phone.
I love crown size coins
I like the look of the toning on the obverse, but the reverse is a bit darker than I usually like (though not overly so).
