Look at this listing and give your opinion on grade.

It is a nicely rounded.

The bust always wears quickly.

I would give it NF/Poor

I'd go the opposite way round Peter, Poor/NF

I think Peter has graded according to how the images are displayed in eBay - reverse first. I agree about the grades, but I would add that it is only the portrait that is Poor, the legend is also NF. How that would affect the overall grade, I haven't the faintest idea. Perhaps "NF, portrait Poor"?

I'd be a little kinder and say the reverse is fine. The obverse is poor/near fine (I'm wondering whether that's a weak strike, which is holding me back). However I take it down a notch for that aweful patchy tone (I would've shied away from buying it altogether with that 'tone,' on account I've previously had a couple with this 'patchiness' which weren't right)! Lovely round flan though!
