<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ByzantiumBabe, post: 7008418, member: 118394&quot;]The term is mute on style and nearly all other grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, Fleur de coin (Flower of the Mint) is not actually considered an accurate grade. This term is more like a subjective salesmen superlative similar to, &quot;Fantastic Coin&quot; suggesting no further review is required. See what Forum Ancient Coins says about this term.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the original post asked the question and judging only by the photo, one might note the obverse is slightly off center, very slight wear in high points, cheek ding, flan cracks and pelleted border 30% missing. The dull reverse is not sharply detailed and lacks crispness suggesting die wear, plus portions of missing border ring make it also slightly off center.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also heavier anonymous victoriatus coins than this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>My grade is a good extremely fine specimen, but could go higher if viewed in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can a 2,000 year old object ever remain in perfect mint state?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
