hi Lacey
have a close look at the tip of the King's nose (chatter), the outer ear (chatter) and the eye brow (flattened & worn looking)
all 3 should be perfectly formed without all that surface chatter for a GEM
All of the beads within the centre crown on the reverse have flattening to them - usually a sign of circulation wear as well
The cross on the Orb on the top of the inner crown is also damaged with chatter (not soft strike lack of detail)
this was a very well struck crown but has been down to the pub and through the landlords' grubby hands more than a few times

:agreed:
Great strike but a rather well circulated coin :ok:

Thanks Robbie.  I knew it couldn't possible be gem unc.  not even unc.  And yep very worn. I hope no one buys it but I just had to post it here.
