Citizen H Posted February 27 Posted February 27 So the reason of asking is if a coin is rare its condition goes by the side a little... this crown although its seen circulation is in quite good condition.... details are legible and minor rubbing... where would this Crown sit on the grade scale? 2 Quote

Paddy Posted February 27 Posted February 27 I think I would have to give a split grading - "aF" on the obverse but "nVF" on the reverse. 1 Quote
Coinery Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Forgetting the grade, the good thing about it for me is that there are no major digs or edge knocks/bruises, etc., making it a collectable fine too. Potentially your most valuable coin to-date? 1 1 Quote

Potentially your most valuable coin to-date? Many Thanks for the input, during the early days when I joined the forum I asked about values but now realise establishing what I have and its condition / grade is more important... Its really appreciated that more experienced collectors are helping out as I work through my hoard... this will be a keep. 👍 Quote
Peckris 2 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Good Fair / Fine + There's not enough hair detail on the obverse to rate as F 1 Quote
Rob Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) The problem with all lower grades is that it is subject to the degree of dishing to the flan. The dies always seem to have a more dished reverse (probably by design to see the date (as opposed to the monarch which is easily discernible from the profile. The less dishing, the more even the wear. Whatever, Fine for me too on the obverse, the reverse inevitably better - say good Fine or nVF. Edited 1 hour ago by Rob Quote
