    This is a 1877 Sydney Mint Full Sovereign I have at present in my Collection
    Could someone out there take a stab and give me your grading
    I will reveal original grade made about 15 years ago, from a Dealer who I purchased it from

    with those pic's it is real hard!
    I would say ef due to the fact that the lustre looks rubbed out in open fields
    but again crap pics=crap grade

    Much better! I would go au53 on it. It seems to have some rub on the high points but again I will point out that pictures can't tell the whole story. The 2x2 may be hiding the lustre on the high points. In hand grading or professional photography out of 2 x2 may tell a different story
    Nice coin BTW. I would be happy to own it
