<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2303177, member: 24314&quot;]Only My opinion.&nbsp; I cannot prove anything with a photo and I&#039;m certainly not a foreign coin expert.&nbsp; As a mater of fact, I took a guess on a coin this afternoon and I&#039;m still waiting for an answer.&nbsp; What do you think about my grading opinion below:</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me ask you a question Mike, what would you grade this coin ? And no, don&#039;t tell me you&#039;re not familiar with the series. Just tell me what you think of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What fun, let&#039;s see how I do:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/26-2-franga-obv-jpg.462841/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/26-2-franga-rev-jpg.462842/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would buy this 1926 Albania 2 fr. in a &quot;country minute!&quot; Looks totally original, full mint luster with no apparent rub (There may be a touch on the eagle&#039;s right leg - so what). These coins appear all scratched up but the scratches/hairlines that most can see here are actually &quot;raised die polish.&quot; I see a tiny planchet flaw/struck thru (?); several tiny hits + a spot (milk spot...LOL) under the &quot;B&quot;; and a tiny black spot in front of the face. I cannot tell from the photo if there are any Eye appeal high but all the die polish is very distracting. I grade the coin...</p><p>TA-DUM...</p><p><br /></p><p>MS-65.
