Good morning,
I have just bought this coin from online auction.
It is - by far - the best grade I got on my provinces little collection.
Pictures are from the seller. I haven't got the coin yet.
What do you think?
Here are the pictures:

1864-Nova-Scotia-Cent---Opinion-On-Grading

I see some weak struck on "NOVA" and "8" of the date.
Any opinion is appreciated.
Thank you!

I will wait until you have the coin instead of grading a seller's pictures.

Depending on which TPG grades it, 58-63

I see no wear on the high spots so I would grade it as MS.
Exactly what MS grade is hard to tell from that photo but
it is a very nice one cent and hard to find in that condition.
Wish I had it in my collection.

Thank you for your replies.
I should receive the coin in about one week. I will post new pictures as soon as I have the coin in my hands.

I'll say potentially MS as well. Though agreed that the photos are not great...the colour looks a little off which is normally a red flag when it comes to bronze and copper. Nevertheless, very nice! Those cents are not especially hard to come by but there are very few at that sort of grade.

Good morning,
it took me a while to have some time to take pictures and get a good lighting.
I'm not good at taking pictures, though..
Here are the best photos I could get.
I would be happy to get any comment on the coin. Thank you!

With a better pic of the Reverse, I'd say 63. I don't think that it will be much higher, because high end collectors would/will be turned off by the D/C on her bust and a little bit of the black spot on the Obv.
