Yet another beauty , Spock , how do you do it , it looks proof but since you said curveball , I'll say prooflike -65 .

pratice practice and more practice rzage that in tune with knowledge and tons of patience most of the coins you see that i posted recently have been researched for more than 6 months to a year some like the Oregon trail and the 1921 peace dollar a lot longer with no luck

 

Whoa, I'm not really a guy for World coins, but that's a beauty! Very nice spock! :thumb:

well go on give it a grade i am not expecting more than 5 people making attempts at a grade here

 

Spock wish I had your patience , but mine is getting better , know for the knowledge part . Speaking of patience don't keep us in suspence more than 2 days , see what I mean , no patience . LOL

dont worry by this time tomorrow the thread will be dead and you might be theonly person who attempted a grade maybe scottishmoney and GD might try but i dont think anyone else will

 

I'm grading it (trying to ) like it was a US coin , is this right or is there another scale for Worlds rzage

 

At this time tomorrow I'll bet at least 8 grades , probably none right . just kidding , nice picture btw .

no that would be right. ill give you a hint this coin is graded by ngc

 

Can't imagine Queen Victoria with a tattoo , wonder what she had & where ? Do you know .

unless you are planning to put those 8 grades in your self dont count on it.

 

That doesn't help ,the fields are so smooth looking & the strike is razor it sure looks like a proof , can't see any marks . The 65 is just a guess it could go higher , 1-2 pts . JMO . How many were made or are left .

Never graded anything B4, PL 69 million kajillion dollar error.(looks like a different crown and back of head behind the most bold one, whats it called again when 1 coin is struck on top of another?) I have no idea, but had 2 guess due to your posting about lack of guesses. why do the lines in the toning go in different directions? Really a nice looking coin!

 

no one knows how many were left or made there is just speculation we can definitely say its rare though

 

Just FYI, I suspect there are "official" restrikes of these. Indian officials seemingly dug out dies for some of the Raj era coinage, because it appears out of nowhere from time to time, oft in splendid condition.

As for a grade, I would go 64, but the NGC and PCGS will say 71.

 

Yeah I know i have some marvelous examples of those restrikes myself in fact all of the restrikes are worth more than the unc pieces but this one is a proof BTW the practise of restrikes was abondoned int he 60's what you see now is people who hoarded them then selling it one piece at a time. the restrikes are now banned inthe indian mints

 

From a tattoo website:

 

I'm thinking in the Pf-66 range as well. I don't have a lot of experience with foreign, but that's my best guess.
