<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 4997695, member: 78719&quot;]While I agree, the grade is inordinately low IMO. I have also seen them to variably grade proof and specimen coins of GB. Please check the picture on their pop site of the 1920 specimen Halfcrown (R6-R7 according to Bull) where this coin is graded Specimen 61. I have seen this coin in hand and similarly the grade does not match with others graded. Same for the wildly popular 1887 and 1893 gold issues - grade the coin and not the holder or necessarily the number grade. Or matte proofs of the 20th century, 1927-1953; or the 1965 specimen Churchill crown. The list goes on and on.</p><p>So I get your point, but my point is that their grading is variable, the explanations are only what we provide. Also, I have collected coins for more years than I care to share (LOL) and was the main cataloguer for Krause GB coins in the 2000-2015 years and saw more rare coins than I can count. So while your point is taken (again), my point is that this coin is likely undergraded by two points or so. These are extremely minor planchet issues that on coins of this vintage - 181 years old now - do not exclude a significantly higher grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
