Hi I have a collection of Canadian Cents... I always said I would never collect 1 cent coins but some how the bug has gotten me.... So I've put this coin on here for some one to help me grade it and a few more which i'll put on over the weeks.... I think this coin which is a 1882 C3 type is at least a EF45 what would ou give it... thanks

Hi Clinne,

I am aware that taking pics through the 2x2 can hide some detail and the off kilter angel adds to that, but if it were mine I would go AU with it from what I see in the picture. If there are any significant marks or damage hiding in the dark areas that would possibly lower my opinion. It's a lovely coin :)

The 1892 Obverses are sometimes hard to discern, due to die wear. If it has the long verticle serif inside the E's of Dei and Regina, it's a 3. Both 2's & 3's have the harsh dimpled throat & chin, but 2's have small serifs on the E's. If it has a smooth, rounded chin & throat, it's a 4. Although there are other major differences, most of the above info can be seen almost at arm's length. Smooth, round throat = 4, large serif's E's = 3, dimpled throat, small serif E's = 2. From a wear standpoint it could probably get an EF-40 grade, maybe a tad better, but the gouges & marks drop it to a VF+ in my opinion.

looks like an XF to me - even with the big field hits.
