Hello everyone! Hoping there is a Swedish coin expert among our numbers...sorting through my foreign silver, found this and have NO idea what to look for to designate the "close pearls" variety. Since there is a significant price jump if it is...figured I'd ask for a bit of guidance. I apologize for the photos - I am away from my real camera, so I have to use the camera phone. I'm not sure which side has the "close pearls" variety, so bear with me... (BTW, I'm also interested in your opinions of grade.. ) Thanks!
Danes and Norwegians use the minuscule or Ø Swedes use the O with umlauts Ö English - Ore Danish and Norwegian - Øre Swedish - Öre Note: The Ø is also used in other countries that have a Latin based alphabet (usually by military or police) to distinguish between the letter O and the number 0. Example: VPZO-6Ø9
Nevertheless, I looked into it (the Swedish coin) and I have no idea what stands as "close pearls" and what doesn't. A chap on ebay is selling one with "close pearls" but that's it, no comparison, no explanation, nothing...just the statement.
BTW: Thank you for catching that...I'd labeled three of them incorrectly... 1874 10 Ore F/VF 1890 10 Ore VF/XF 1876 25 Ore XF
