I would grade this medal Good Fine (Sheldon VF35) but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself. 

For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself. 

The coin in the photos is the actual item which you will receive. It will be shipped in a bubble mailer. Due to rising postage costs, my default shipping option for orders up to £60.00 is now Royal Mail Tracked 48. Royal Mail First Class Signed For is available as an option. Orders over £60.00 will continue to be shipped with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed will be used for ALL overseas orders. I am happy to combine shipping on items bought within 24 hours of the first purchase.

If you wish to pay using a cheque/postal order/direct bank transfer please contact me before making the purchase. Exceptions for purchases from countries on my "excluded" list will be considered on a case by case basis.
