GTG 1925 Norse

So, I thought that I would do a guess the grade with a medal produced to commemorate the first Norwegian immigrants to the US , I understand that this is a difficult one to grade, and I wouldn't have any clue, Here is some info and auction results from Coin facts.http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/9450
Give it your best shot,

That viking looks creepy. I like it!

I will guess VF-35

 

XF-45 ...these are quite cool!

 

VF-30

 

XF to low AU?

 

He looks like something from the movie pirates of the Caribbean.

 

I thought I would give this an update after the extremely low guess's.
This coin has a lot of luster present, my previous pics were a disservice to the Medal.
Here are some updated photos
Feel free to change your guess's He still looks creepy with the deep eye sockets. LOL

 

Low MS?

 

These are incredibly hard to grade, even if you're familiar with them. I don't really see any wear present. You say there is luster, even if the pics don't show it. It appears attractive and original.

I'll throw a WAG of 62, but very low confidence in that grade.

 

Okay then, I will wager an AU-50

 

AU-53

 

AU50

 

Guess #2: AU 58

 

'62.........

 

I am so glad that I found this in a slab, I would not have bought it if it was raw. Like most of the guess's this looks like a well worn example, because of the dark toning. In hand inspection though, shows metal flow lines and luster beneath the dark color.

 

Ya know brother? If you 'zoom' in on the head (obverse) it sort of looks Zombucksy.......

 

Must be the Scotch.

 

It's not the Scotch.
The history channel has a show called "Vikings" I'd have to say they were quite barbaric. (if portrayed correctly in the show)
The coin seems fitting, if you can imagine some deep glaring/piercing eyes in those sockets.

 

Ya know, those boys was traders too right? Lift the Dragon Head off of the prow of the ship and instantly, you're a 'merchantman'........
