acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 9:08 pm Hello I would really appreciate some help with this coin I think it has been cleaned and I would like a hand grading it. I am thinking VF-20 to VF-40 ? Not being the greatest at grading but I sure could use some help with the grading and value Thank you in advance All the best Alan Report this Post to the Staff

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 12:24 pm I agree on VF30 and cleaned harshly with something like an SOS pad, but I still like it! Its damaged, but its not ruined exactly. Its a pretty rare coin and still has value. Looks good laid Reverse side up! Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 7:57 pm Value is a tricky word, especially on a rare'ish coin. Most would want a problem free 15 than a destroyed 40 for the same money. Add in the fact that there are so few NFLD collectors and this one is a really tough sell. Report this Post to the Staff
