Tricky Sixpence

[stevo1962]

1922 sixpences are sometimes tricky to grade but would hope this
one might make AU55 or better.Any opinions

Do you think it is a particularly weak strike?

(ie: Advance, lower shield .....)

Many of them do have a weak strike from what I have seen which
makes them difficult for me to pin down a grade

[Unicorn]

Yes, a real trick for grading ......... not that I'm any good at it either :laugh2:

i'd go for between AU53+ - AU 55
but I know ZIP about silvers!!

AU-53 Full detail with friction over 1/2 or more of surface, very slight flatness on high points
AU-53+ Full detail with friction on only 1/2 of surface, extremely slight flatness on high points. Positive eye appeal.
AU-55 Full detail with friction on less than 1/2 surface, mainly on high points

[oh my florin]

I agree with the weak strike. How it would grade you would have to ask Eric, Walter or someone of similar experience? On a side note the 20s coins are generally very weakly struck across the silvers as far as I know, Unsure on coppers and gold tho.

Thanks Robby ,I'm hoping that it's better than this one
