<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4698090, member: 26302"]I would be around aVF-VF. Its a nice coin. Any ancient in the VF range is a nice coin. I am glad to see conservative grading. NN always has "flat" pictures of silver. I would need to see it in hand to say more. Luster, which does not show how they photograph their silver, would be critical. Much more luster could get me to gVF, but not any higher. There is visible flattening on high points of the obverse, and that flan imperfection on the reverse is a little visually disturbing. Its in the equivalent of a modern coins PFA.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to be critical sir, just explaining how I grade and why. Like I said, and ancient around VF is a pretty coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
