Hello community,

I would like your opinion on this 1932 canadian 5 cen.

Pictures of this auction are not the best. In your opinion is this a far 2.

That is really hard to tell from this picture. I wouldn't want to venture a guess on that one sorry.

These auction houses seem to strategically take pictures like this. If you click on the picture it gets a little bigger and better. Unfortunately its the best one they provide.

In my eyes it looks promising as the 2 is quite the distance from the maple leaf near by and does hit the leaf very low when you draw a line across.

@Canacoins I am asking about the 2 in 1932 not a six.

I don't think so.

It looks like the 2 is as close to the rim as the 3 is

@TheBurnz,

For it to be a far 2, it has to be far from the leaf, which means the 2 is closer to the rim than the 3 is.

Have a look at the clearer photos here and you'll see it:

Wow, awesome! Thanks @doctorman1941 and also thanks to @johnnysprawl for pointing out a different approach to spotting a far 2.
