You're missing something here guys. If you were to place the coin obverse side up and then just turn it over - this is how the pic should be...
I think you are right, that's what I get for not reading closely enough :o pupa - Is this the coin you are asking about ? Click Here If...
Absolutely, I would grade it XF40. If it did have porosity, it would be considered as damaged and ungradeable by the TPGs.
I would guess that the die got some grease on it and that that is what caused the roughness in the fields instead of the normal polished finish....
I'd say VF25, too much wear to go higher IMO. I also think it's be cleaned, more than once. It looks like someone took a pencil eraser to it on...
Hardly, it was BU when purchased. Bone has it right ;)
For whatever it's worth sf3, that's not porosity on your coin. Those marks are the result of hits and dings during circulation.
Would ya settle for a gold one ?
Just to make sure that I made myself clear on this - back in the '60s getting a $1000 bag of BU Morgans was common place. It was just as easy to...

Open the bag and take a look at the coins. If it really hasn't been opened since '66 then you might have quite a find. You also might have a bag...
As long as it's numismatically related, you show all ya want. And exonumia such this definitely qualifies :thumb:
It stands for Specimen - it's just a different designation that NGC uses for such pieces. The coin is not a business strike, so they don't use MS....
Ooops, you need to turn on your PM function so I can send it to you.
Well here's a way you can find out for sure. I know of no one who knows more about the coinage of the Low Countries than Fred van den Haak. I will...
It was graded by NGC as SP69.
I can't recall every showing any pics that would really fit the description your using. But I've posted some really closeup shots to illustrate my...
You made me go look it up Aidan - it was the 1651 half crown. Charles II was the one with the gold proof, a crown - can't find the date right off,...
