<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2039396, member: 29751&quot;]The lira needs some work to remove those green spots.&nbsp; It is a lovely coin, but I would be very surprised to see it in an MS67 graded holder at either NGC or PCGS.&nbsp; I think it has a real shot at MS66, but only if the abrasion across Vittorio Emanuelle&#039;s forehead is minimal (hard to tell from the images).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s one thing to say that it&#039;s &quot;Easily a 67 coin graded all day long&quot; and something completely different to actually submit the coin and get that grade.&nbsp; Some of the best learning experiences I have had in world coins were submitting and seeing how well my opinion of a coin matched with that of a consensus of 3 world coin graders at a major TPG.&nbsp; In the end, the difference between an MS66 and MS67 coin is irrelevant, as long as you are happy with the coin -- and based on those pics, I would be VERY happy with that example of the Lira as a type coin.&nbsp; Congrats! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
