If only it was inscribed 1917 and genuine lol!!I paid £90 plus postage, and pending any negative replies am very happy!Unfortunate turn of phrase! Looking at a few dark patches near the rim in a few places, I wonder if it's been cleaned lightly at some point? However, for that money, it's not a bad snaffle at all, and I'd say was a bargain, even if it has been cleaned a bit. Quote
Peter Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Looks well struck and the fields appear uncleaned.Without seeing it in hand it is difficult to assess between EF & UNC.There does seem to be a small bit of edge damage at 7 o'clock on the reverse.Minimum it is a £200 coin...Well done. Quote
azda Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Better to guage the opinion when you've taken your own pix Paul. Rev 3 lions bottom quadrant look worn, but that could just be the picture. Quote

Worn die, quite a common feature in that series, probably due to the number minted. Quote
