    do you think it is a high grade for example 65+ on the schelden scale. i know that it might be a lil difficult bfor you coz u dont use that scale but gie it a shot anyway

    I would think MS63 ... Right side of the obverse has what appear to be scratches... If thats the case it might even be AU58... Just my 2 cents...

    Nice sovereign.

    It looks like at 3, 6 and 9 and 12'o clock there are either minor foil marks. Or it may be removed from a jewelry, thus minor jewelry clasp marks.

    Also, the king’s hair and his beard indicates that it may be a victim of ‘gold dusting’. Do you know the exact weight of this sovereign?

    Would it be possible for some enlarged photos? (I did click on them and it enlarged them a little) I would hate to undergrade it, and I would like to give it the attention it deserves! Larger pictures would make it a bit easier to accurately make a grading opinion, but yes, MS 63 is as high as I would go without seeing it a bit better. A nice looking piece for sure! DAK

    No Ballabh I dont and after getting your opinion I am not going to even try to know it. This one is off the buy charts. Thanks a lot for yur input. The hunt continues for the ms65+ sovereign
