Market / specialist note
Surface originality, patina, portrait quality, tooling, smoothing, and reverse rarity remain major controls. Unlabelled raw observations are displayed as published wording, not assigned to invented auction tiers.
What affects this price?
Even within one ruler, denomination and type, grade, strike, centering, surfaces, style, patina, rarity, provenance, and tooling or smoothing can materially change value. These are not automatic numeric adjustments.
