Flaw on George II Crown 1718

[numismatist]

Also wondered if its 1718 over 6 ?. Also I assume that as the E is mainly intact

it was struck like this rather than being post striking damage.. What grade do

you give it , and does the flaw de-value it..........Thanks for any advice

It looks like it's 8 over something and a 6 is as good a candidate as any.

I would rate it as being in the range of VF to GVF.

The flaw is a strange one. It certainly looks like a striking flaw, but I would not say it disfigures the coin as badly as it would in a different location. As for impact on value, that's in the eye of the beholder - you could get every reaction from "I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole" to "I can live with that".

Thanks " Peckris " for you imput. Yes its a strange flaw and if there was no letter

there it would look like someone had tried to pierce it .
