I finally found one. I believe it has been cleaned ( I picked it up for $22.00)– but – I would like to know the grade. I say FV

Just between VF and XF for me but Id give it a XF.

Thank You apuking - Wow better than I thought - would you know the value? Would you say the coin was cleaned? Ed​

Hello,

Nice coin, yes, I would also say XF-
The coin was definitively cleaned :(

The WC value is $180 and the Prifix-value is 160 € (for XF)
But 40-50 € is more realistic.

The "E" from DUCHE is strange ?!

I agree with those above on grade GVF-XF

The coin from the images has a silk type shine, that indicates being polished. Not vigorously scrubbed or cleaned with baking soda etc. but still cleaned.

Either way, still a lovely coin that will reacquire a new patina/toning in time.

Yes you are right -the E is strange. I also noticed die cracks an a extra piece if metal on the leaves.
