I am no expert, but judging by the wear to the high points and the loss of detail I would grade it 'F' - anyone else?

It would seem that, once again, Krause's book price is a little way off the real selling value. An 1876 Sweden KM#742 in a similar grade to yours recently sold on eBay for GBP 7.50 plus postage (which is very close to it's present scrap value based on a spot price of GBP 20.06 per oz).

Hey guys,

F+, I think. And eBay's prices are crazy. I bought $6 worth of Chinese Rep. cash coins for only $4.
