[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 7787137, member: 74571"]I should probably amend my characterization of the "1" grade from Norway: Here is what some online information gives (and in [B]bold [/B]in parentheses what a well-known dealer in Oslo, Roschberg, says): 3 Poor. 2 G -1/2 ([B]Fair/AG[/B]) -1 VG ([B]G[/B]). 1/-1 ([B]VG[/B]) 1 F ([B]VF[/B]) 1+ VF ([B]XF[/B]) 01 XF ([B]AU[/B]) 0/01. 50-63. ([B]61-63[/B]) 0. 65-66. ([B]64+[/B]) It's plain to see that there is no universal translation from the Norwegian system to the 1-70 scale. The more collect Norwegian coins, the more conservative I've become. When I slab a coin, it is only NGC. I've seen too many over-graded Norwegian coins in PCGS slabs, which is fine if they are being sold in the USA, but not if they are being sold in Norway (unless a novice is buying the slab, not the coin). And, as you can plainly see, there are gaps in both "translations." [USER=93155]@buckeye73[/USER], the coin, IMHO, is definitely not VF. It really needs to have detail in the crown for that grade. I would now call it F. Steve[/QUOTE]
