1915 Threepence

[stevo1962]

EF or aUNC that is the question.I cant work it out because it depends
on the quality of the strike and I'm at a loss.Any opinions?Sorry about the photos

Ok I'll be first cab off the rank as it's the only way I'll learn and I'll say EF but close to a UNC as there are a few marks here and there and the star doesn't seem to have a nice point but it looks pretty good :good: and I'd gladly have it
Keep in mind stevo I have no idea mate :winkextra:

All opinions appreciated AJ

Not a weak strike in my opinion, All the denticals are nicely formed.
Has a fair bit of rim damage and some wear on the high points on the reverse.
The obverse is fairly baggy as well.
not much lustre remaining.
The big issue is it appears to be cleaned in my rheumy old eyes.
EF details is what I would call this at mate.
Still makes this about a $200-$300 coin tho Mate :good:

School is in for AJ and me.

That makes sense, seems fair enough.

"a fair bit of rim damage" that seems apparent as well.

"The obverse is fairly baggy as well." Or just enough circulation to make it EF? Hang on a sec, that was the OP question. :huh: How about gEF?

KGV threepences aren't exact scale models of florins are they?

[ausjack]

nah a wee bit smaller than a florin and I'm learning so it's all good :good:

Yeah it had me with the good detail around the aminals but then the star doesn't look so good..yes I know it's a hight point so wears first and still to work out cleaned
and I'll go with Bob and change to a gEF

[echidna]

Looks original and PCGS AU55 I reckon.
That's not wear on the feathers - its just the strike.
1915s often get under-graded because of this.

[ausjack]

cool, thanks echi :good: another fifty years and I might know a thing or two

[r9453]

and still to work out cleaned

I forgot to mention about the 'cleaned' comment by trout. I'm with you AJ, unless its done by Peter Wallace I just can't pick them.

and I'll go with Bob and change to a gEF

The remaining detritus in the lettering, the lack of lustre except in the devices and near the rim and the many minor scratches/abrasions just scream out "Cleaned " to me.
Walter or Markn will chime in when they finish their respective "Nanna Naps" and either slap me silly or will agree, either way that is my "Honest" opinion and I don't think anyone wants a BS opinion :ok:

[ausjack]

I don't think anyone wants a BS opinion
