personally I put them under a digital microscope (electronic magnifier) and set it to 5x and examine the coin that way. Didn't do it with all of mine (hence the 2x 69s oops) as I didn't have it to hand. Otherwise I wouldn't know of a service that pre-grades them, but if you took hi res images and uploaded it here I'm sure the helpful people of the forum would help with likely grade.

Some world silvers also arrived this morning Would ordinarily be excited to receive these but was a tad overshadowed by the gold this morning 😂

Another 2.5 gulden this time with the seahorse privy mark- these really are some of the best looking (and biggest) world silvers out there.

Lovely Edward VII florin- one of the best British coin designs of the 20th century in my opinion.

I love those 2.5 Gulden coins, they are high on my wishlist, there is lots out there but I have yet to find my AUNC / UNC one from the time period I am collecting, I won 2 more coins in auctions, just the wait now till they arrive (if they do) , and if they are any good.

These are impressive coins although looking at the top Registry Set and the census decent UNC examples seem to be a bit of a challenge.

In my view putting together sets of quality early 20th century silver from lots of places in the world is surprisingly difficult, including Edward VII and George V, and a well worth long term project 

- pity the Napoleonic period was early 19th century as my funds would go much further! Although I may need some 'side projects'

I think the size of the coins is against them in finding a minter, harder not to accidentally damage them in circulation,  I think this is part of the fun of coin collecting, the hunt.

Very happy with the outcome of these two coins !! 😃 it took 8 weeks but totally worth it.

Here in The Netherlands they call those coins: Knaak or Rijksdaalder
Maybe it can help you searching for these coins in the future.

Received some treasure from @Numistacker this morning from my first submission to NGC...

Absolutely love this Britannia design and think it is such a clean finish and design next favourite and on the wish list is the 2001 set 😂

 

I love the portrait of lady Britannia on the 2003 year release. Congrats on the high grade results.

Thanks! I actually bought it from the Baird showroom without looking at them properly so was quite relieved.

I think it's the nicest Britannia design personally. Also love the 2001 and quite like the 2014 globe design. I might try to get a PF70 in all the 1/10 oz britannia designs eventually but at the moment my silvers are the focus.

I thought the same thing. Either you have some very adventurous and rewarding hobbies or you bought them 😂 no idea where though

Freshly back from grading two US pre 1933 coins. One half eagle and one quarter eagle. Great grade on the 1905 but super pleased the 1913 is genuine and not details. The hunt goes on....

 

[richatthecroft]

Nice @silversurf, did you have them conserved? 

[silversurf]

@richatthecroft No...  tend not to bother on the pre 33 coins just in case it gets the dreaded details lol

[danmc82]

Received today from @Pete. Been after the 1997 1oz Proof for a while. Now my date run is complete 😀

 

[JunkBond]

$5 looks absolutely lovely @silversurf, well done. 😍
