Posting this because it's at the very least, a nice photo.  |

Images too soft to grade from.

It's not - I don't actually collect those but I saw it on the e-shelf and now I'm thinking about it. Too expensive but a relatively rare Geo VI Newfoundland 1c in that it's got significant eye appeal. And yes, MS-64.

There's no way you can make an accurate grade from any Truview.......talk about an oxymoron!

@doubleeagle59 - that's just a screenshot. If you go to PCGS [@DBM has inserted the link] you can get a better look. I haven't seen many George VI 1c that are that nice.

I can understand why the PCGS version is MS-64 (click on the enlarged PCGS image in DBM's link)
OP is now in a position to grade for himself,
hand held using 10x magnification, under ideal lighting conditions - (direct sunlight is OK), just as PCGS did for their example, and compare.

NF 1940, 1944, and 1947 cents are interesting. They were lower mintage and have relatively few mint state survivors, compared to 1938, 1941, 1942, and 1943. Nice mint state examples are very tough to find. Yet, there are three surviving 1940 cents in PCGS MS-66RB. Two look very similar with the wood grain toning. I have always wondered if they were originally preserved as a pair. The image below shows one of the three. The other two can be seen here https://www.PCGS.com/valueview/mint...=32916&h=pop Edited by bosox

Interesting - did not realize that...some more key dates to go fishing for! I've really only recently started looking at Geo VI and trying to understand how to grade them. The four little shapes on the ermine at the bottom of the crown are clearly key; also the surface details in the bottom petal of the flower. That and the usual stuff.
I'm sure there's a long list of errors and variations as well. I'll need to talk to Barry B about that!

I see that Hugh Powell lists one of the 1940 MS-66's on his page.... likely the one listed in the middle on the PCGS page you included.

I am pretty sure the middle one is in the Perth Collection. I think the left one is the one in Hugh's listing.
