<p>[QUOTE=&quot;norantyki, post: 8916009, member: 118879&quot;]Although the obverse of these is notoriously weak, this is still an EF-AU example (VF-EF in British grading), and should be details. The lustre is a re-patina (the tones, at least in the photos, are not consistent with what I would expect of this period without an old &#039;dip&#039; - UNC examples usually go to lavender-rose-grey tones, and circulated usually go to various gunmetal greys), and there is a lack of detail in the garment which is present in true unc examples (the reason that these were weakly struck on the obverse is that the obv die was reused, and it wore on the highest points - ie the hair, ear and facial features). A rare coin yes, a nice coin yes, an unc or original coin? Decidedly no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
