Not long ago there was a lot of 5 Aussie Proof sets - '70 thru '74 - being offered for $79.00 - there were no takers. That indicates to me that...
Netherlands issue - slabbed by NGC.
Thanks gx :thumb: That's a lot more info than I was ever able to figure out - best I could do was discover the differences in the arrows and the...
That's part of it, the other part for me is that the coin on the right has suffered more dings and gouges - it just looks more beat up on the obverse.

Based on the pics I think both coins are AU, I also think the 1910 has been dipped to remove traces of verdigris.
Medals often are cast, not struck. So this one may be quite normal.
It is also sometimes called strike doubling and sometimes ejection doubling - but no matter what you call it it happens because one of the dies...
Congrats Victor :high5: Just beware, the first step upon the path of the yellow brick road can be a treacherous one, for now there is no turning...
