<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spock1k, post: 507555, member: 7043&quot;]ill tell you more when i have the coin in hand but most of those look like dirt/play of light on the pic and not wear the only 2 places where i think it may potentially be wear is near the R on the obverse and the spot you circled in between the one rupee on the reverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The spot next to the kings crown on the reverse will also be something very interesting to look at as a lot of coins of the later years have spots like that straight from the mint and it does not indicate wear just a defect in the manufacturing process (till 1990) but this is the first time i have ever seen such a thing with Edward so it will be quite interesting to see if its something that originated with Edward or not.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>however if NGC wish to remain consistent then that should have got a 63 (if mohur then 65) not that i agree with those grades.&nbsp;&nbsp; we are recently seeing a very bad dilution in grades given out by NGC (with their new slabs) and if it continues like this i might soon add them to the B list with ANACS.&nbsp; However, what might have gone in favor of the coin is that its very rare to find a half rupee coin of Edward in that condition but still i am not in favor of bumping grades if its a 55 call it that and if its a 63 submission by spock than make it a 63 submission by anyone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also i find that the third side of the coin reveals a lot about coins from india and everyone should look at the edge of the coin before buying it will basically give you the DNA of the coin from its birth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
