This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior or superior to XF. One copy seen, I classify to this coin as a heavy weight because even worn, it already weighs 9.78 grs while the usual coins weigh 8.00 grs. Even though the weight was noted by cgb.fr, the coin was sold as a normal coin, So I added 20 euros to the realized price.
If you have a more worn copy than the known minimum conservation state, remove aproximately 30 percent for each lower conservation state. In the opposite case, you probably have the best known copy, as long as the coin is not sold, we can not know what price will be obtained in auction.
