SilverNcoin, I don't recognize the grading "firm" of the coin you reference, nor do I agree with the grade they assigned it. I think your coin is a VG-10 grade, as many on here have previously stated.

The "firm" referred to is Coin Mart from B.C.
SilverNcoin-
For your 25c piece to be graded higher, there would have to be more detail in the hair and less wear on the crown.
VG10 is a fair grade.

Thanks, make sense. I have to agree that member of this forum looks to be very good at grading, sometimes better than some well known "grader"or "Slabber"...
Thanks again,
Frank

SilverNcoin. Not sure if you are aware, there is an "H" mint mark (on Reverse between wreath and denticles). This signifies that the coin was minted at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham England.

Thanks Nickelodeon for the infos.The most amazing to me is when you look at a 50 cents of the same year from newfoundland with only 80,000 mintage VG-8 at (+/-) the same price of my coin with 1 600 000 mintage...I think I will buy more silver coin from NF, sometimes cheaper than Canadian ones with lower mintage.
Frank.

' ' to the Forum SilverNcoin, regarding Newfoundland coin prices vs Canadian coin prices for the same years, price is not always determined by mintage. It is determined by demand and to some extent by scarcity. The number of collectors of Canadian coins is greater than collectors of Newfoundland coins, creating more demand for Canadian coins. There may have been a smaller mintage of Newfoundland coins vs the Canadian but that does not mean there are less available. In the late 1800's there was a bank failure in Newfoundland, as a result there was a major mistrust of banks and the people hoarded coins rather than depositing in banks. This resulted in an abundance of Newfoundland coins, which gives us the lower price of them today, compared to their Canadian equivalents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_(1894) |
