XF or UNC?

the black stuff on the coin is sticky, possibly glue but I will remove it later.

This coin was graded ms62 by ngc (I disagree with ngc about this one) and by my opinion my coin looks far better.

I wont reveal how much I paid in this thread but I will add this to bargain finds of 2015 later .

I'm going for VF on this one...I can't see how it got anywhere near that high grade.

Well someone did buy it for over 300$...

AU details. (environmental damage)

.... is what it should say on the nice plastic case. I'm thinking a good bargain for you, savvy shopper.

I have the exact same coin!!!........but mine has 90% of its detail missing.

I know what you mean, I have now two of this year and the other one is G so I guess this was quite an upgrade.

This was the first well preserved pre-1860s swedish copper coin that I have ever seen so these are quite rare in this condition.
