    That grades WAY better than VG.

    I like the Iraqi odd-shaped pieces (as I recall, isn't there an octagonal one, too?), and the palm trees, also.

    Well i'm a bit strict with grading ,the coin is cleaned after a look at though my 16x mag, plus the rim ding that is what i factored into my grading and yes they have a few other odd shaped coins

    The coin is common but overall i like the odd shape of it

    Being conservative by five or ten points is strict grading.

    Undergrading by 45-50 points is brutally strict grading. Remind me to buy coins from you. imageimage

    That was a very nice old coins. They have different shapes and figure. Bullion coins are also valued based on these factors, but are largely valued based on the value of the gold or silver in them.
