eNuminous New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/17/2022 8:53 pm I just lucked into a nice example of an AU+ with the line between the flagpole finial and the 50, does anybody know a ballpark of what something like this should be auctioned starting at? I'm flabbergasted at the quality of this coin, with a nice yellowing on both sides in the center of the silver, and no wear to speak of. K Mint marking, definately the Die Crack error mentioned by Castor at https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coin...0-cents-1938 I'll attach photos in a bit. Going to get this pro graded, of course. Thanks, Matthew Report this Post to the Staff

If dramatic as in terminal die state there may be a slight premium. Edit to add: LM of RCNA Member of CATC Edited by 1960NYGiants 05/17/2022 9:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9872 Posts	Posted 05/18/2022 12:33 am Don't be in a rush to send it for grading. We need pics. It sounds like a $50-$75 coin, not worth the expense of grading. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/18/2022 12:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21656 Posts	Posted 05/18/2022 08:14 am It would cost as much to have it graded as it is worth. Also a Die Crack is not really an error, it is a Die State or Die Event Would still like to see photos though, Report this Post to the Staff
