Taler Tales Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hi. I just acquired a beautiful Hogmouth Taler and wanted some input on it before I send it off to be graded. Does the obverse have scratches or pre-striking marks? And would it come back as “Details”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Scratches. I think it will be OK. The scratches through O and VS look old and acceptable. But, I'm usually very strict, so the opinion is not worth a cup of common coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I would not be surprised to see it come back EF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex in PA. Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 That 'scratch' on the Obverse doesn't look good to me. I'll say 'Details'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numisport Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Certainly minor scratches or even dings could be acceptable with a wear grade coin I think. Taler Tales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I think it'll straight grade. Taler Tales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
