    Lovely, but what condition? Based on the photogs, I'd put it at '64.

    Well, I must say the pictures although nice do not do it justice. The luster is fabulous in hand. It graded PCGS65RB, which of course I thought low.
    It was pictured on their pop reports but since fell off. I will get it reimaged at Baltimore. There is a hard luster to it that make some of the surfaces almost proof like, even with the luster - usually not possible.
    This coin is from the Grand Ole Days at Spink when the SNC was unsurpassed as a source for top British coins.

    I've handled a few examples, but none nearly as nice as this one, congrats on an awesome coin. Actually the "prince" as the 1922 with reverse of 1927 is the king ;)

    You mean this one? Possibly more valuable, but certainly not as wonderfully preserved. I will still hold the OP coin out as such, even in the face of the 1922 rev. 1927 or the 1933 as I have never seen any of these as beautiful. IMG_3048.JPG IMG_3049.JPG

    Wow, that is world class material. Clearly condition-wise the 1926 is king :)
