SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 6:29 pm The best I can tell by your pics, looks like AU-50 The small rim dents keeps it down, but with only a mintage of a little over 90k, at AU-50 according to Canadian Trends, $110.00 Nice Coin Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 7:07 pm I don't know these coins, but an AU-50 is possibly not out of the question. A bit of luster remains around the obverse letters and there is noticeable wear on the King's hair and especially on the tree on the reverse. I see some faint hairlines but nothing too severe. XF-45 might be a more realistic grade, overall. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 7:28 pm One key grading determinant here should be mint luster, and photos don't always convey that well. Comparing to my '38 $1, which is at least AU50, this coin has less wear/more detail in George's hair and overall a better reverse. The details in the canoe are particularly good, and yes--the tree is that flat even in MS grades. I'm going to say AU55-58 because it's well struck too--unless that obverse rim ding at 12:00 extends into the coin's edge. Edited by KurtS 04/02/2008 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

asciibaron Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 08:25 am the rim dent is of concern - my gut tells me it would be knocked down because of that. how is the luster - it's hard to tell in the photo - seems flat i go with AU -Steve Edited by asciibaron 04/03/2008 11:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
