I am contemplating having this coin slabbed, but I'm still not sure. Any thoughts? All grade inquiries are welcomed. Thanks in advance. KM# 822.2 10 ORE 3.0000 g., Copper-Nickel Ruler: Christian X Obv: Crowned CXR monogram around center hole, date, mint mark and initial N-GJ below hole Rev: Center hole flanked by spiral ornamentation dividing value
Very interesting. Most collectors wouldn't think to look too closely at a coin like this...non-silver...mid-40's...tiny coin...and yet here's the Krause price guide: F: $180 VF: $210 XF: $3.75 (hooray, typo...) UNC: $475 Would I get it slabbed if it were mine? Yep. Looks to be at least AU to me, no major problems (unless that's a scratch to the right of ORE? Maybe it's a die crack or a hair lol)
Wow! It's gone up in value according to Krause. When I purchased this coin from a bargain bin ten years ago, it was valued at: 1947(h) N; GJ F 85.00, VF 115, XF 170, UNC 230
The NGC World Coin Price Guide is a bit lower: Now to check my hoard to see if I've accidentally picked one of these up...haha...
Speaking of sneaky valuable Danish coins, I got this one in a group lot that I bought on eBay this week. I just looked it up and it says $35 in F! Whether that's accurate I don't know but I was surprised. I wonder if I can get that black stuff off?
