    I'm assuming the white spots on the obverse are pieces of paper from the flips.
    Is that verdigris above the P on the obverse or a stain?

    I'd say that it's EF easy, I'd have to look at it closer to give it an AU.
    It looks like there is some wear on the reverse, but very little.

    Nice coin though.

    High quality EF, perhaps AU, agree with the reverse wear.

    Bodybag for PVC. Looks like 'greenies' are lurking in multiple recesses, IMO.

    Have to give it an XF; the reverse holds it back from being AU. A split grade au/xf would be realistic. Still a nice coin. Bob

    I am concerned about little green things too... I would rather see the coin. If I am just seeing things... then AU50 is reasonable

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

    The green looks more like dirt to me on the actual coin. Not nearly as bad as the large image suggests.

    I will say XF45 (EF/AU).
  • lordmarcovanlordmarcovan Posts: 44,972 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I would say AU53.

    My first thought is EF45, but it would depend on what the surfaces are like. If flat/dead, then EF45, but if there's any decent portion of lustre remaining, I'd push it to AU50... I like to see at least a little bit of lustre before calling something AU.
