Looks like VF to me but the edge knock between 5 and 6 o'clock on the observe is serious. The edge looks a bit dodgy at 8 o'clock too (and there is a dig on the neck too).

Personally, I won't buy coins with such edge problems.

I agree. With the various edge and dig problems, it's only a Good Fine for me - albeit a nice colour. But it is certainly genuine.

Value though only £100 tops for me; if you've got two hundred spare, you could get a much nicer one, I feel.

I thought this coin may have been cleaned in the past PWA. and the edge damage was putting me off to Sword so I might just wait. I've been watching a few coins for a couple of days now and I'm not that impressed with the quality. I only have £200 to spend I know but I want the best I can find.

I'd say VF too, but the edge knock is worrying. I'd not offer £200 for it. That series is by no means rare. You'll find a better one. Admittedly it was over 10 years ago, but I picked up an EF for £220. The Spink value is a bit OTT.
