pies Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Hi all how would you grade this please Quote
pies Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 And it looks better in the hand than the scans show Quote
Peckris Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 And it looks better in the hand than the scans show Yes - a magnified scan knocks off up to a whole grade in my experience. So I'd say that was a clear EF. In hand it might prove even better. Quote
Rob Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Good VF-nEF. The lion's nose on the issue tends to be well struck up unlike the previous issue. 1925 shilling as an example. Quote

declanwmagee Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Good VF-nEF. The lion's nose on the issue tends to be well struck up unlike the previous issue. 1925 shilling as an example.What grade is that one, Rob? Quote

Paulus Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 And it looks better in the hand than the scans show near EF on the obverse and EF on the reverse in my inexpert opinion Quote
azda Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 An iPhone overall NEF from me! Do you have viber for the iphone Stuart? Freecalls to anyone and anywhere in the world if they also have it installed (like moi) also another good wee app is Touch (sounds all pornographic now) viber and touch lol Anyhoo Touch is like a free messenger and you can send small files/pics/sms/video etc to another touch user worldwide free of charge. 1926 GVF for me, wear to the Lions tail and nose as was poointed out. OBV being better then the REV Quote

OBV being better then the REVI think you can set your iPhone to viber instead of ring if you're somewhere where a ring tone would be a nuisance Quote

I spotted the flattened end on the tail (even on the phone), but still couldn't bring myself to pull it back to less than NEF because of the globe, paws, etc...it really is borderline for me though. On balance I wouldn't be that unhappy if it came to me blind as a NEF! Quote
Gary D Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 There's a bit of wear to the lions front paw so I'd go GVF for the Reverse although the Obverse is better Quote
VickySilver Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 IMO, this coin is GEF and the softness at the front paw, nose, and G5's hair is strike softness. Technically probably mint state and been in a bag for a while. Quote
Peter Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 The fields look although good but there is a small ding at 8 o'clock the strike is not the best.NEF would be on the money for me. Quote
Peckris Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Wow, a range from GVF to a 'technical' mint state. We've never had such a wide range of opinion before! Just goes to show how particularly difficult the silver series from 1920 to 1926 is to grade accurately. Quote

VickySilver Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 "There should not be focal wear if this was due to time in a bag or light circulation and in a case where the metal did not fill it may appear flat, esp. with an harder alloy. "Newsweek Stands By its Story". Quote
scott Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 looks VF+got this 1926 sixpence not long ago for a couple of quid, to me the detail on this is better then that shilling, and i think my sixpence is EF Quote
