My personal guide for grading British trade dollar
1. Look at overall luster.
2. Look at the rim for any damage.
3. Details of the observe can be seen at the following high points.
- The hand: can all fingers seen
- The foot: can all toes seen
- The breast area... (sorry but high grade coin should buldge outward.)
- Details of the helmet.
- Details of the mintmark "B" at the prong
4.The Britannia surroundings has lots of empty space - should free from scratches or marks.
5. The reverse is generally no high points and less signs of worn seen here compared to the observe.
Ini pandangan peribadi saya tentang grading untuk British Trade Dollar:
1. Meneliti luster koin keseluruhan.
2. Meneliti tepi koin untuk sebarang tanda langgar / jatuh.
3. Bahagian depan koin boleh diteliti dari high-points berikut
- Tangan harus nampak semua jari
- Kaki harus nampak semua jari
- Bahagian dada... (maaf, namun koin yang tinggi great, dada harus tonjol keluar)
- Bahagian helmet tidak haus.
- Keterangan mintmark "B" di prong.
4. Di sekeliling Britannia terdapat banyak ruang kosong - Sepatutnya tiada scratch atau mark di sini.
5. Bahagian belakang koin secara umumnya lebih rata dan jarang haus dengan mudah berbanding depan koin.
