I just picked this up on eBay from the US.
Sellers images.

A good looking coin, easy on the peepers.

It's always nice to pick up a George V UNC coin especially from the USA

My guess 62RB

As we have discussed before 1936 coins seem to be the easiest to get in really good nick.

This coin will probably take a fortnight or so to arrive and when it does I will post my images of it so it can be viewed "warts and All" :ok:
I have bought coins that look fantastic and have turned out to be "Dog's" before and this may be the same, Then again it may Not.
That is the difficulty in buying online from eBay if you are not familiar with the seller :angel:

I know the feeling Jim as I am also waiting for a few to arrive

I am not sure if I like the Red Brown look of the coin above. Certainly not easy on the eye unless it is the close up look that is putting me off.

The 1936 penny has arrived and it looks a lot better "In Hand" than the sellers images :yahoo::dance2:

Grading opinions welcomed

62RB.

MS63BN

ausproofs · December 07, 2015, 08:20:47 PM

MS62BN would be my guess.

I have the advantage of having this coin "in hand" so I am going to stick my neck out and call this at MS64RB.
I will send this off to PCGS when I finally receive the Indian coins I bought and will post the results when I get them :ok:

If it goes 64RB that would be a great result as there are only 4 or 5 coins graded higher depending on how you rate colour. Good luck anyway
