It looks like the middle area was very weakly struck. But it is hard to say if this is wear or weak strike without seeing the coin in hand. And with a strike as weak as this one, assuming that it isn't actually wear from circulation, I would only grade it MS-60 or 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Künker says "Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz" (i.e. "EF-UNC"). NGC says "MS-63" (whatever that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Stempelglanz" is usually reserved by serious dealers (in Europe) for coins that would grade MS-65 and up by USA standards. MS-63 would therefore only warrant "vorzüglich" (IMHO...)

In addition, I think they messed a picture in its catalog and a next lot 6380 can be NGC one's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to tell just from the picture if the coin pictured in lot 6380 is in one of the old NGC holders (no prongs) or "raw." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to tell just from the picture if the coin pictured in lot 6380 is in one of the old NGC holders (no prongs) or "raw." can be, but my point is that so many times auction houses messed a pics with description that 6380 looks more obvious to be instead 6379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
