Love this one in hand, feels great to the touch, great rims totally original, but barely obvious subtle contact marks on obverse open fields...lets say I had the urge to send it in to be entombed what do the masses believe it should grade?

Amazing and lovely reverse. I don't know the type but I would venture to say choice 58 - some marks and wear on reverse high points.

Pokermandude · February 5, 2016 2:52AM

Looks nice. I don't think I've ever seen this type before. I'll take a shot in the dark at 64.

brg5658 · February 5, 2016 3:40AM

MS58 or AU64, take your pick...

Zohar · February 5, 2016 3:53AM

For the record, I have no clue and probably way undershot. Numbers aside, coin is really nice!

MS64 by an American TPG

JCMhouston · February 5, 2016 4:44AM

I think 63/64.

Honestly, though, GTG posts will be easier to handle if the images were smaller (I like to use 500x500px per side). Too big and you get to see micro-problems that shouldn't factor into a coin's grade that much. Even someone as gorgeous as Charlize Theron can look bad if you look closely enough.

Nice looking coin- worthy of a 63 minimum- just curious which TPG houses this coin

Pretty coin. That shield has been divided and subdivided.

The photo is a little overexposed, so its hard to tell. I'm thinking PCGS 62....

marcmoish · February 6, 2016 9:34AM

thanks all, I took a better look again, there is no wear on knees, looks like knobs in the scan, its not wear, it is how the camera picked up that piece of leg. otherwise perhaps a weakness here or there in strike as struck, overall this piece is fantastic has never been played with. I agree the large exposure is abit much here (EVP yup agreed, Prue..overexposed yup) - I posted below something better. The toning is subtle and special...very warm and real. The rims itself have not even ONE nick or hit on EITHER side which again would make no sense with wear on any high parts.

I would say MS63 if it was my shot at gtg..imho...as much as I love it in the nude I probably will send it in to our hosts...but I can easily see it in a 64 holder. just being non-objective

Zohar · February 6, 2016 9:45AM

Definitely looks much better in the smaller image.

coinkat · February 6, 2016 11:37AM

I would submit- And 64 is quite possible

worldcoinguy · February 11, 2016 8:31AM

Very attractive piece and wonderful design. I would guess 63.

Denmark Royal Coat of Arms: 1819 - 1903
I had to look it up since I've always associated the "Elephant and Castle" as a British symbol and it is shown splitting the date here on the reverse.

TwoKopeiki · February 12, 2016 4:08AM

I'm just going to go ahead and guess AU 55

Sorry, couldnt resist. It's a lovely coin.

rawmorgan · February 12, 2016 5:01AM

I will guess MS-60

Great looking coin.

marcmoish · February 14, 2016 4:25AM

I'm just going to go ahead and guess AU 55

Grrrr

Seiously I am hesitant to send this in - might wait till that "grader" gets canned

Hey EVP, I missed your stamp above - I'm honored.
