1915 shilling

[stevo1962]

Been checking this coin out.Looks OK but I might need
to get better photos to be able to work out a grade.Any
opinions?

55 - 58 if original.

I was thinking 50-55 but the colour is making me uncomfortable to stand by that grade and would I be right in saying that you have taken that pic from about a 20 degree angle?
looks like it has to many detracting marks to get high grade au but it is better an ef with the details.
nice coin I would like to find one like that, do you mind if I ask what you paid?

gee stevo I wouldn't want to be in your shoes 'cause that's a tough one mate but doesn't sound to bad but see some more pic's first :winkextra:

[stevo1962]

Received some better photos and it looks like a nice coin for $650 but I think I will offer a bit less

[ausjack]

Cool, looks a lot better than the one in the ebay link I put up Stevo..but lets wait for some of the other birds to chirp in first mate :good: this old crow knows nothing

It looks like a 1915H, is that what the seller is offering it as ?
There's a bad hit on the Star, and it seems somewhat lacking lustre but that could be the pics.
I would probably go EF - gEF on this one, or AU50 without seeing it in the hand.

He's offering it as a 1915L so I made him an offer based on the latest photos

I think it's a London. Check the position of the H here....




and compare it with the coin Steve is interested in

[serial]

much better pics, I would say good ef at best AU50
that knock on the star really will affect the grade and there is just to much wear on the high points to call this au
I would call it Almost Almost uncirculated

[echidna]

It a nice coin however there is no lustre which will count against a high PCGS grade.

[serial]

I am keen to hear how this grades at pcgs. don't forget to let us know

[stevo1962]

Well this one just arrived today and looks like it has good lustre so hopefully that will help with the grade at PCGS

[stevo1962]

A good result on this one I think
