    Agreed, the correct term for the OP coin is "crisp"!

    Nice,
    It not be of a high enough grade, it was only graded as vorzüglich when it sold at a Lanz auction in 2006 i think he only collects the stempelglanz graded coins ;)

    + I got a good deal for this one at €68.66 .... I guess the Ebay pics weren't great since it sold for €150 + fees in 2006, pius new45.jpg
