bruce Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 any chance of a rough idea of grade on these two please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 By American standards, I'd grade it XF 45. I'd grade it higher but the luster is headed off somewhere for vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 the coin on the left is in really lovely condition and shows no wear, it is just collective grime that has covered it, toning is without doubt absent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 My first instinct is XF-45, for both coins in the U.S. syatem of grading. Now don't tell me they aren't Fijian Shillings as I have had one or two of those, very nice silvers..could always do with seeing both sides of the coins though. There's a difference in colour but they are probably about the same Mid XF grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 this is the other side of coins if it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â See bruce, I personally give AU and above to coins that exhibit some of the original luster. I noticed the great details and low wear on these coins but I just don't see the luster. I know you're a detectorist, but I like luster on my coins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhut1000 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 any chance of a rough idea of grade on these two please I agree with Deadpoint on the left coin and give an AU50 or so on the right. I sold quite few NZ coins on ebay a couple of years back and still have some if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The coin on the right AU scratched, the left EF/AU Nice coins. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
