<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3976655, member: 19463"]A few years ago, I was at a Baltimore show and saw two of these London mint coins in the stock of the same dealer. The two had equal surfaces and were unevenly struck to about the same degree. One was sharp on the hair and mintmark but had no detail on the top third of the reverse or on the bust below the neck. It was four times the price of this one with poor hair and very weak mintmark but a good strike on the babies. I bought the cheap one. Few would have made that decision due to the mintmark although the ID is certain. The same coin with the strong points of both the ones I saw would have been ten times the price (assuming such a coin exists). Your coin is a balanced strike. From what I see online, that seems unusual for these.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1046727[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
