Nice coin!! They are usually baggy and seldom get even 63. You got a deal on the 53~

I stand to be educated.
I would like to find out more about those marks across the crown that were so obviously pictured.

my misstake regarding the price, most important thing is that you like the coin

Just wondering if the slab is a fake? There are fake PCGS slabs aren't there? John1  |

Oh there totally is but seeing hundreds of real ones and even more fake ones I don't think it's a problem for me.

I know nothing about Canadian coinage, but those horizontal (for the most part) lines could be a lamination, a defect in the planchet before it was struck.

Jake,
Buy the coin not the holder.
You're asking the question so here's my take...
The coin is overgraded by one maybe two grades.
PCGS in the early years (and this is an earlier slab) gave an extra point or two for the toning.
This is why Brian at ICCS is so brutally strict when he grades a toned PCGS coin because he knows this fact.
I gave ICCS a PCGS graded ms65 1934 dime to grade once and he graded it an au58.
Just one thing to watch out for - old PCGS graded Canadian toned coins (almost always overgraded).

The dark lines appear to just be toning. The thin white lines in front of the base of George's crown and over his eye/temple appear to be raised on the coin. If they are indeed raised, that means the die used to strike the coin had those marks/scratches on it, so it wouldn't deduct from the grade of the coin.

Those marks are toning... no different than a dark streak you would see on a 1-cent coin... technically, they do not affect the grade, unless the grade factors in eye-appeal (such as PCGS does).
