canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 7:39 pm Arrived :)...survived very rough handling by an eager customs officer cutting left and right :)...weight is correct, color is a bit different, wondering if it was cleaned a long time ago? The "3" is strong indeed...a few dings beside the date not as distracting in person as on photos...Obverse 6....VF30 perhaps? or ICCS VF20? :) Report this Post to the Staff
Colhand1 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 05/31/2011 11:10 am A VF30 for sure - based on the look of the hair below the Queen's ear. You spent a small fortune but you have a coin that will become a feature in an auction when it comes time to sell. Very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
marjonbc Valued Member Canada 84 Posts	Posted 05/31/2011 11:44 am Beautiful looking coin! Wondering if anyone has a definitive way of telling if an 1898 has been altered to look like the 1893 RT in lower grades. With the weak strike that is common on the 3 it gets tough to tell in lower grades if you one is real or altered. The 9 seems to be the best indicator I have found but wondering if someone else has a better indicator than that to tell a real from an altered. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10480 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 01:43 am Nice! Top 15 coin in a PCGS holder (only 5 others share that grade, and 9 are better).
