afornaini Valued Member Italy 91 Posts	Posted 05/19/2026 05:34 am Good morning, I have just bought this coin from online auction. It is - by far - the best grade I got on my provinces little collection. Pictures are from the seller. I haven't got the coin yet. What do you think? Here are the pictures: I see some weak struck on "NOVA" and "8" of the date. Any opinion is appreciated. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 05/19/2026 1:02 pm I see no wear on the high spots so I would grade it as MS. Exactly what MS grade is hard to tell from that photo but it is a very nice one cent and hard to find in that condition. Wish I had it in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 05/21/2026 05:32 am I'll say potentially MS as well. Though agreed that the photos are not great...the colour looks a little off which is normally a red flag when it comes to bronze and copper. Nevertheless, very nice! Those cents are not especially hard to come by but there are very few at that sort of grade. Report this Post to the Staff
