<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3011478, member: 10461"]The 10-pfennig certainly looks like an MS candidate to me, and I'd venture a guess of MS64, though I'd ideally have wanted to see somewhat larger pictures so I could zoom in on the crown and eagle's brow and shield details. I'd say it's got a pretty decent chance of MS at an American TPG, though. It looks as though there might also be some subtle "cartwheel" luster we're not able to see in the photos, maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Wurzburg is quite tough for me to assess, since it's so difficult to determine how much flatness is due to the strike and how much, if any to circulation. I do think it has some light circulation, but wouldn't want to have to put any definitive grade on it. Wild stab in the dark? I'll say XF- to AU details. The color is indicative of some cleaning, as I see it. I do not foresee an American TPG straight-grading this coin without mentioning some kind of cleaning or surface issues, though they might give it a decent "details" grade. (Or not. Who knows? Certainly not me.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
