    Got both for $112.47 .... that's 80.99 for the 2 Kroner and $8 for 3 pence plus fees & shipping. Any opinions on grade? The 2 Kroner is truly a beautiful coin though, so I took closeups of the details. I also tried to capture the luster as well, but it's a little tricky. Only 150,000 minted. The 3 pence looks to be in a higher grade as well. Attempting to grade foreign coins is challenging due to the variety of metals used, and a fun way to practice. Enjoy!

    no thoughts on grade(s)?

    On the 2 Kroner, I would place a grade of F12. Mostly based on the hair and ear on the portrait being almost worn smooth. The 3 pence is maybe a VF, but old George took some serious smacks to the back of his head there.

    The 1910 Norway 2 Kronor appears to be real. An important distinction given all the counterfeits out there of this type, with multiple years being faked. Would go in F15 slab if I were grading it, assuming the area above the date does not have PVC damage.
