<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2035980, member: 71338"]The biggest problem first is the scratch. Next is the almost whizzed looking appearance of the fields. The fields are too flat and polished looking, almost porous though. In other words, the fields should have more random abrasions, nicks, and off color toning, but instead the fields are uniform looking. Could have been retoned to mask heavy cleaning, but this kind of rework is hard to tell alone from a few pics. Is this a silver crown or a close up of a gold sovereign? Not too familiar with GB coins, but I've seen enough cleaned, toned, or other problem coins to know this one is a problem. Id say it has AU50 details, but you can't just say it's worth an xf. Someone might pay more or less because there are so many factors: eg the price disparity between xf and au grades, the rarity, mintage, demand, eye appeal, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
