So my 1 escudo arrived today...tried taking decent photos withmobile. Any thoughts on grade and value??



Dont know much about this coin but from the looks of it it looks AU (or maybe UNC) to me...

I sell my Duplicate or Un-Needed coins on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/str/coinsandmorenj.
I am about to send this coin to the NGC. Do anyone have more thoughts on

a. Authenticity
b. GRade
c. Value?
No reason to doubt authenticity. it looks good, have you weighted it and measured it?

Comparing it to the one on the NGC page, I'd say it shows some wear, on the tips of the oak leaves, the knot of the wreath, and the florets, so maybe AU, but maybe closer to XF.
if you have looked at auction sales, you know as much as anyone about the value. The price on the NGC page is probobly quite low.
