It has nice detail but seems to be missing the luster. Photos are not the best too. I don`t think it would get MS.

great details, but cant tell if that's carbon spots or corrosion,

either way the "eye appeal" of the coin would drop the value well below whatever techincal grade it would get.

As the others said, the damage/corrosion would make this coin ungradable. It looks like it may have been cleaned too. I don't know how to grade Canadian coins, and it may have unc details, but the net grade would bring it well below ms.

The details appear quite sharp, but the photos aren't good enough to grade it. The corrosion is a shame.

while a damaged/corroded coin CAN be technically graded, the assigned grade wouldn't mean much.

problem coins are simply problem coins.

a TPG would probablty take your money and grade the coin, but if you ask for an opinion here you probably wont find anyone willing to assign a grade (which is why errorcoins is saying it's "ungradeable")

It might be close to MS if only looking at detail but the corrosion and what I think looks like cleaning kills the coin completely IMO.

MS details, but as others have said, the corrosion/environment damage/cleaning turn it into a clunker.
