Good! I seen your eBay listing and the photos you have there show off the lustre much better.

I love the designs of thalers. The quality of striking is often so much better than the English crowns of the same age. I like your 1604 Saxony thaler!

Didn't you say it's a keeper just 2 hours ago?

I would say it is around EF. (The coin looks dull but that could be due to photograph). If there is some lustre on the surfaces, perhaps worth about £35 or £40.

No, repair is never done at the mint. It's much less hassle just to strike another piece than to repair.

Both are around VF I think. -
Subject to funds, I would suggest you upgrade to UNC and take your time. Looking at a coin a top grade gives so much more pleasure. And there is no reason to have them all in the same grade.

Scrap value is just over £8 and so you can't complain.

Make the most of the situation. Try selling it to Martin Scorsese and see if you can make a profit. -

Round and full. Very collectable coin 🙂

One can born with scars unfortunately. I remember some salesman once said on TV that inclusions in a diamond are a good thing as they give the stone unique character. Who was he kidding? Back to the 1902 matte proof. In my view, the minting process was over when the coins have been struck. The wiping wasn't part of the minting process and was mishandling by workers after minting. The fact that many (but not all) 1902 matt proof have wipe marks do help to make them more tolerable to collectors but you won't find many people thinking the marks are a positive feature. If you buy a modern commemorative coin from the Royal Mint today and it comes with a fingerprint, you would immediately return it due to mishandling in the mint.

A facial birthmark or scar can be argued to add "character". I would still rather not have them...

Minor double entered letters wouldn't be considered as having any significance. If would become exciting if an incorrect letter was first applied. E.g. the 1820 S over T in "SOIT" is a rarity.
