Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 2:25 pm Nice little fish scale five cent coin, it does have a little lustre remaining in the devises and hair of the Queen. Opinions on the grade please? TIA Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

YoungRetiredBum New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 6:02 pm I think on a technical grade EF-45, but on eye-appeal AU-50. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3664 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 11:21 pm Nice fish scale, and a really pesky date in higher grades! It's a bit of a soft strike, most noticeable on the obverse denticles and hair in front of the top knot and on the crown details on the reverse. Factoring in the strike, I see the grade as AU-50 details. Sadly, I think the heavy knock the obverse rim took at 1 and 2 o'clock and the multiple dings reverse rim took at 12:30, 2, 3, 9, and 10 o'clock detail the coin. There is still good eye appeal, and I could easily see this one trading hands at an EF-40 (or possibly better) price. Report this Post to the Staff
