I just purchased this 1958 Canadian dollar and I am wondering whether it would be worth it to send in to C.C.C.S. for grading. The only real negative I see is the scratch under her chin and all I can say is that it looks a lot worse in this picture than it is in person. I won't send it in unless it's got a very good chance of grading MS65. Any input would be appreciated. Sorry if the pictures are a bit large. Thanks, Bob

Looks like an MS-64 to me.

It has little eye appeal with the haphazard toning marks. It would have to have a chance at a MS65 before the cost of certification begins to make sense for this particular year.

I am going to upload a couple of new pictures tomorrow. My pictures were horrible. It actually has fairly light toning and the thing that looks like a gouge is actually a fairly light scratch. Other than the scratch/gouge and a couple or other minor scratches the surfaces are completely mark free. Until tomorrow. Thanks for all the reply's

Could this coin be a proof-like?

I have looked at a bunch of PL's and this just doesn't have the same patina but the lack of small circulation/bag marks makes me a bit suspicious that it is a PL. I'll put up a few more pictures later today and maybe that will give enough information to make a determination.

Sharp outer rims of obverse and half of reverse makes me think it's a PL.

Here are a couple more pictures. I hope they are a bit better. One way or the other this coin is going to get an acetone bath to remove the PVC contamination.   |

I hope this shows your coin a bit more like it really is.. I'm leaning towards PL for sure   |

If it's PL, the divot in right field will make it no better than PL-64. Not worth certifying in that case.

Looks like a proof to me, PL-64
