Thoughts On My 1797 2D.

[Danz]

Hi all. Just got this 2d. What do you think of grade and possible value. Cheers Dan.

[Danz]

OBV.

[jaggy]

Looks like a VF - VF+ to me.

That is a solid EF dingless and not bad for a lump of good cu.

Great coin...fantastic edge (so hard on these 2d's)...nearly cried when I saw that obverse barnacle though!

I'd say GVF/EF or NEF/EF. You can probably ignore Spink values (somewhat hyped, I'd say) and rate it somewhere between £150 and getting on for £300. But I may be way out of touch; eBay realised prices may be more accurate, though they are usually less good specimens on there.

Here's one with BIN of £169, not quite as good as yours

And here's one a bit better, ridiculously overpriced at £675 :

An awful lot of them seemed to have been packed into guns during the Napoleonic wars as grapeshot - based on their banged up appearance..

Will let the experts grade it (as I dont have the coin grading book yet) but it's a beautiful coin and I would love to upgrade to something like that !!

My verdi care arrived today.

[azda]

I'd also say NEF

[Accumulator]

NEF for me too
