    Fleur de lis? France? How did you get it? It's very unique :)

    Looks like a reverse cud, and corresponding obverse weakness.

    I agree with yosclimber, and the coin has also the wear and tear of close to 400 years of handling/storage etc..

    From the color, surfaces, and luster (image doesn't do coin justice) it may have been net graded from a 64. Of course owner tends to see a higher grade.

    That coin has been through the ages, so I guess I can say it is a coin for the ages.

    What were you doing in 1658?

    It's a desirable coin, and the people really interested in it don't much play the MS game. It seems fairly graded to me.

    As for 1658, that was like five days ago in terms of human history.

    Also gotta note the King was twenty years old and they will still using the image of a young boy.
