A lovely example of this brass medalet commemorating the death of King William IV. Lightly worn and well detailed.

Listed in Brown, British Historical Medals 1760-1960 Vol. 1 as BHM.1724. I would grade this medal Good Very Fine (Sheldon EF53), but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
