[rbrown4]

Not being familiar with this specific coin, I am looking for some assistance in trying to determine potential grade. Any comments welcome.

 

Thanks,

A weak strike is not a component of any grading standard that I know. (But dooly, I don't know anything about UK grading:)) It does look like there is some wear on the rev,

I'd say AU-55 .... I would be concerned about cleaning and if a TPG would even grade it.

 

I also would not "Kick it out of bed" !!!!!

I agree that it is a very weak strike. But there is evidently still a bit of luster showing through. I would grade it a solid XF-45, maybe AU.

Thank you for the input, I go back and forth on the coin as far as possible grade myself.

 

Thanks,
