The coin has an excellent portrait (that's what drew me in), and a nicely detailed reverse. I do think €360 would have been a good price, if not...
PS- @Sharkbait46737 - nice score! I've only scored a Franklin half in a bank roll once.
Aha. So this one is struck in coin alignment rather than the usual medal alignment, then. Interesting. I'm not sure how rare that is for this...
Aha. Yep. Nice one.
Just received this from Germany. The rim nick is accurately described in the auction, but I originally viewed it in the original German (which I...
So now we come to Round 8, meaning there will be eight coins in the lot. [ATTACH] Lordmarcovan gave to thee... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] (8)...
Time for the Round 7 drawing. Our lucky number was 190. [ATTACH] Post #190 was by @Parthicus. Coingratulations, @Parthicus - you have seven...

PS- it does look better, and a little bit more natural, in the second set of photos. So just dipped, maybe- not harshly scrubbed, at least.
Yes, it does look cleaned, though I’ve seen worse. An awful lot of them did get cleaned. For many, this one would fall into “market acceptable”...
I think sovereigns are generally worth slabbing, even if they don’t have much premium over their bullion value. But as World coins, they’ll cost...
For this one, you need to pick your prize (see the introductory post). But you’re entered!
I guessed it correctly without peeking. Yay! (Too late to post- you'd already done the reveal.)
Indeed!
