actelios Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi there, I have bought recently this nice coin. Basically, I am not interested in northern EU old silver coins but this attracted really my attention ... Does anybody know more about this piece? I would like to know your standpoint on the grade. It was sold as UNC. What do you think about ? thanks ! Giuseppe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 It is a very nice example of the type. However, it has been heavily cleaned, and so I would be forced to call it aUNC or UNC-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 It would get a details grade if it were graded by a TPG - as noted it is harshly cleaned. It is one of those coins I am looking for myself - but alas I haven't found a blast white example in BU yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'only' 103,392 circulated. by the way i have paid almost 200$. I hope ...it was worth!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple that with the fact that outside of Denmark they are not collected much - makes for a very attractive but affordable design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you are right, however I liked at first sight and .. decided to buy Maybe outside Denmark are not collected much, but for a collector of northern EU countries coins , in my opinion, it is worth have it .
