    I'm not qualified to grade these, but I see wear on the high points so I'm guessing something in the mid-AU range?
    The coloring looks really nice, especially on the reverse, and there aren't so many nicks for a coin of that size. I like it a lot.
    It's a thousand times better than the example I have.

    Nice coin! I would like to get one some day as well. My guess is AU as well but I am not a grading expert.

    I'd say AUnc too. The reverse has slight wear on the orbs of the maces, and slight traces on the obverse (brooch, ribbon leading to garter).

    Nice coin!
