wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 10:37 am Here is a very clear illustration of the two different types of "6"s in the Near and Far variety: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...140_scan.jpg Indeed the "6" of the "Far 6" is slightly blunted. Another key difference that stands out -- looking at the inside oval portion of the "6", both ovals are slanted upward but in slightly different directions - which also appears to be apparent in the second set of comparison photos that you posted. Therefore I'm crossing the floor - looks to me like a "Far 6"! Report this Post to the Staff
SolarPenny Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 04/19/2015 1:29 pm I think this is the thread wildflower was talking about: https://goccf.com/t/216540 There I don't think the 6 was necessarily altered, but the leaf above it. In your case I don't see any of those markings so I think it is a genuine far 6. To give you a bit of a reference for price, I bought this one for just under $100 CAD less than a year ago. Not sure if it was a good deal or not but I think it would be the same grade as yours, just without meter marks. Report this Post to the Staff
