Dollar1948 Pillar of the Community Canada 636 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 12:02 pm Im not a grader by any means..Im sure there are better experts here but here goes. Looks like everything with get a mid to high Fine grade of some sort no more than that. Please wait for the experts in here to comment. I wonder whats on the 1926 near? Think it will come off? Personally I like the 1919 25 cent maybe because its the only silver. I dont know. Im dying to see how the experts here respond, but I don't think theres anything there'worth writing home about.

MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 12:03 pm I was looking at a list & saw there were 2 variations for the 1926 5 cent. This spacing on the '6' looks off. Is this the "Far 6"? Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 12:19 pm That is the near 6 ... it's nearer the Maple Leaf. I don't have a pic of the other to show, perhaps someone else... Report this Post to the Staff
MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 12:20 pm Yeah, I did some digging after I posted that & saw that when they say FAR, that they mean far from the leaf. Confusing Report this Post to the Staff

Heres the current trend value of the far 6...in Canadian Dollars, one again.. VG-8-$180 F-12-$275 VF-20-$400 EF-40-$700 AU-50-1250 Edited by Dollar1948 01/12/2009 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/12/2009 12:43 pm Near 6. You can also tell by the baseline of the digit, which is slightly higher than 192--which is a good way to check for modified 6 digits. I think that dirt/glue/varnish on the back should come off with a careful soak in pure acetone. 100% Nickel coins basically don't tone at all. I could be way off grading from your pics, but maybe a F12 on your '26. Softer strike on the crown perhaps, but too much mustache detail for a VG. Report this Post to the Staff
