[QUOTE="buckeye73, post: 7789612, member: 93155"]Many of the European countries, including British Colonies have had monarchs with crowns or crowns alone on the coinage. The crowns with gems and other raised features are my focal points in evaluating grades of those coins. This Norwegian coin is such an example. Coins of other countries have designs with focal points, such as hair detail in which wear can be evaluated for purposes of grading. Upon further review of the OP coin and disregarding the possibility of worn dies or week strikes, which often occurs with nickel and nickel alloys, I’m at F obverse and low end VF (VF20) reverse, net F12 or F15. Over the more than 30 years of world coin type collecting I have noticed that a given country’s grading standards of their own coinage are generally more conservative than standards in the US. Great Britain is a prime example. PCGS is an example of US standards. I must admit that aside from Canada and Great Britain, I have not studied other country’s grading standards. Stevearino, you have obviously researched Norwegian coinage grading enough to provide a knowledgeable opinion. Thanks for giving me a mulligan. Dan[/QUOTE]
