Took a chance on a purchase from a Portugese seller hoping that this coin will hit MS64

Anyone else think it may e cleaned? Very hard to tell with the photos though.

Don't think its cleaned as it still has a frosty finish but those are the risks you take when buying from a photo

That would be a great result

Has the pvc look to it, however, it looks like the pvc has tried to e washed off. Look at the 1950 date as well as at 8 oclock from the kings head.

Looks like they managed to get it all off

That could actually be dripping in lustre and the person took pics with the wrong settings and dulled the look. I can't wait to see your pics when you get it Stevo

To me it has frosty lustrous surfaces with a couple of small marks on the obverse holding it back from a really high grade

I like it, thumbs up from me.

For comparison.
The PCGS photo is not the best - the coin actually has frostly lustre.
Yours looks a bit similiar to me.

the images are not the best but I would have spent $60 for that in a Heartbeat.
Minimum Grade would be MS63 A 64 is a definite possibility, Well Done mate :yahoo:
