    Pictures aren't showing, at least to me.
    I collect history in the form of coins.

    Nice coin, Brian!



    Dunno on grade as I haven't seen nearly enough of these in hand...from the picture, I'll throw a WAG out there of AU55, perhaps 58.



    Surfaces look clean, nice color, maybe some strike weakness on the pillars and globe? Interesting obverse die crack along the rim starting at the mintmark connecting the tops of the letters and running up to nearly the A.



    Take care,



    Jeff

    Tough call- terrific coin. Likely it would be a high end AU. The fields look good so if in hand there are no real signs of circulation there, one might contemplate an MS grade as the high points may reflect cabinet friction or the weakness in the strike.



    Worth submitting- best of luck if you choose that path

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Au-55 given wear on high points and pillars. I cant see this going MS.

    How would I grade it? With a loupe and a nice incandescent lamp. Sorry, it was too good to pass. image



    Beautiful coin regardless of what the grade is! I'm in the AU camp. Thanks for sharing!

    I'd guess myself better than AU50, not enough for AU58. AU53-AU55 is about right.

    my thoughts precisely - like it a bunch!



    ...just can't guess a grade though.

    Great little Pillar minor. I'll pass on technical grade for the moment, but give two thumbs up on eye appeal. imageimage

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    I'm a bit humdrum on PCGS foreign grading and can see this coming back as an XF40.



    I can also see it grading AU something on another day.



    Personally the coin looks Chiice XF to me.

    Here is a very choice EF45. Given the detail and the visible luster I think the 1745 has to go AU something.
