Im very interested in this coin. XF is it?

I collector U.S. coins, and I know that grading standards can be different for foreign pieces. It appears to have at least EF sharpness, using U.S. standards, but I'm a bit concerned about the mark on the rim that is at 12:30 to 1:00 o'clock. That area may have been filed, but din't know for sure.

 

Filing off a rim bump is one way to hide that problem. In the U.S. series, that is grounds for a body bag.

Yea, that mark is the only thing that concerns me.

Still dont know what to do. Without that it should be aunc but..

I talked to the seller he said its just a minor thing, the edge is with letters ( NIHIL SINE DEO ) and its perfectly readable.

Im getting this, only 82 500 minted and to find a piece(silver) in such a good condition is very rare.

I like the look of this coin and suspect it will be nicer than the scan portrays. I've seen a couple of these, and if I'm not mistaken, it will be somewhat prooflike when you get it.

I bought it for almost 200$ ( which is a very good deal ) and received the coin. Very shiny indeed, it has a chance to be prooflike. I will post some better pics later today or tommorow for opinions.

I opened another topic for the coin with lots of photos ( "Grade please").

 

A mod can delete this one. Thx!
