<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UbiFluxus, post: 2807377, member: 89019&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had this coin since I was a little boy. My granddad gave it to me. It had a lovely even greyish blue patina across the whole coin. When I saw my mum cleaning the silver I thought I was doing the right thing by giving it a scrub, but when I saw my granddad the next time he was not impressed. Lesson learned. It&#039;s now a cleaned coin, but that aside I think it&#039;s still a good coin? So far I know it&#039;s silver (non-magnetic), weighs just under or just over 27g, has the larger dentil reverse 9 o&#039;clock, so I know, or at least am pretty sure it&#039;s real, because it&#039;s so old that I think back then the silver value was the same if not more the face value and collectors value picked up much later when it might be argued it makes &quot;sense&quot; to use real silver. So let&#039;s assume this one is real. </p><p>I think this is a common version, but I have looked into the PCGS MS markings out there for this coin (which I believe to be a Y-329???). I found one that is MS 66 that sold for 14k dollars at auction and looking at actual examples of an MS 66 grade I would say mine is also around MS 66? Also, mine seems to be struck with a lot more care than some of the ones I have seen. The edge reeding around the faces have a very evenly spaced ring? (Does that mean much?) Would someone out there please enlighten me whether what I have got here is something valuable (albeit maybe not special, just very very good condition??) I look forward hearing your opinions on this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best,</p><p>P[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
