  6. jacinbox

    The coin is still given a grade JAC True but not the number if you see what I mean. It's like the American TPGCs they will say UNC Details but not MS^$RB for instance. Similarly CGS would say XF but not say CGS 70. I should have been a bit more clear :-) Any purchases of late?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Verdigris is a Green substance that sticks to coins, like rust does to iron. It corrodes coins and can hence have a serious say on what the coin is worth. CGS reject coins with verdigris. They will encapsulate the coin but won't give it a grade. I would reckon this coin will top at around £180.

    Oh dear.

    However one thing is for certain. The top part of the 3 does not conform to an Open 3 variety.
  14. jacinbox
    As you can see your coin does not have a upward curve for the lower portion of the 3
  15. jacinbox
    However the important thing is the lower portion of the 3 does not curve upwards at all. So I should say not the traditional open 3 but the 3 is definitely open. better pics would help.

    It does not look like a Open 3 But it looks very interesting. The Open 3 has a curved lower serif but this coin has a horizontal serif. Looks like a new variety to me.

    Good luck. I was watching this coin but it did not look like a open 3 to me. I might be wrong for you know what ebay pics are like.

    Nice

    Damn Pete you beat me to that reply

    On a more serious note. I think it is a type. There is meant to be a colon after the F:D like F:D: The colon after the D is missing
  21. jacinbox
    Is that not the point? That they are not there
  22. jacinbox
    no
  23. jacinbox
    The top curve does not agree with an open 3. The bottom does though
  24. jacinbox
    New dies?
