The British used to be something like the American Early American Coppers (EAC) people, ultra conservative. As the U.S. grading companies have invaded the British coin market, the grading as gotten closer to U.S. standards. You coins look like AUs to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>My coin is in my inventory as an AU-50, but it could also be called a Choice EF. </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly these coins and their shilling sisters tend to come in high grade. They did not circulate that much because they had too much silver in them. The British were living under the unworkable &quot;commodidty value of money theory.&quot; They got smart circa 1816, when the silver content was lowered and coins started to circulate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
