cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 02/23/2012 8:52 pm It sure looks like a Mint state. I'm not sure what those spots are on neck and is that a mark on the cheek? Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 02/23/2012 10:06 pm It sure looks like MS-62. Struck in nickel not really worth much, only a buck or so but still a nice coin. It is worthy of a keep-sake. Remember, the more shine, the fewer marks and the sharper the strike = higher the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
