Hi, folks!

 

I am considering to buy this coin for 25 euro. I would like to get your opinion on grade based on pictures. Seller is legitimate, coin is nicely toned and not cleaned once. I am not sure whether is XF, VF or aUNC grade, so please assist me with grade.  And i usually buy toned silver coins rather than chemically treated ones.

 

Thanks a lot in advance. 

I would pay 25 for that. 

noticeable wear on laurel leaves, so I would call it XF.

Your coin

The internet coin, I would consider as XF and yours a bit less, see the face of Hercules, so vf to vf+

Very Fine 25 on the U.S. grading scale. Simply too much wear on some of the details. For comparison:

Thanks a lot for helpful answers. I will not put prices in future, if that was the issue with forum policies

I only meant to say that 25 is a fair price.

 I dont think that is against policy.
