Hmm hard to see. If it's 17mm and it looks right on the design front, i realise the colour is off but that's quite probably because of the photo...
Hmm interesting, so where did they get the silver from then? One can ionly assume that they must have melted down old issues, or perhaps this is...
I'm a more conservative grader. Although Peace Dollars are not a series i'm familiar with, never really liked them to be honest.
I'm still using my method, cos i'm awkward, whichever method is the oldest and the most backward of the two is the one i'll stick to and martyr...

Sorry i messed that up, you said a crown on the reverse that would make it a Third guinea, not a full or half. But 11.5mm does not sound good, cos...

The British Standard,. this is how much an average British catalogue will bother with the issue of grading. Coincraft's description as thusly...
I suppose we are biased because of what we collect. You collect ancients, i collect hammered coins of the 12th-16th centuries. To us it's less...
Anything that eliminates numbers then i'm for it, never liked numbers, never liked maths. If switching to a 7 point grade system puts grading...
I might take you up on that GD! Help i do need...
18 or maybe less, even better! :D I like short sets.
