I'm thinking au55 to au58 is a tad too low.
I'm leaning towards ms60 to ms62.
Someone earlier posted an EF grade...I just don't see how that could be.

@doubleeagle59-
On my coin it seems to me that the most obvious area that shows wear is just to the right of the ear in the beard area. There could be other light wear spots, but I don't see anything that stands out to me. The beard area is confusing to me because it doesn't seem really well defined in the first place. The ear looks just as good as what you posted and and I don't see any major difference in the crowns or in the bow on the shoulder. Obviously I could be wrong on any of that, but that it just what I can see with the coin in hand. Just to be on the safe side I would probably say there is more wear on my coin than yours, but not a large amount of different. Thanks for posting a comparison photo. What grade is that coin?

PlDuck....
I do not own the coin that I posted.
I actually think your coin is better than the one I posted because your coin has much better surfaces.
I'm not one to nit pick wear on high points of a coin because I believe the condition of the surfaces of a coin determine its grade, but if we're so discussing this then the coin I posted, has slightly more wear (on the crown pearls and the shoulder area) than yours.
The difference in the two however, is very slight and I believe the grades of both would be very close together (yours still slightly better).
I would grade yours low range of an au58 to a high range of ms62.
The one I posted a low of au53 to a high of ms60.

@ double. Please remove the pic you posted you did not ask permission did you ? so much for copywrite stuff. And by the way you are 100 % wrong that coin was certified much higher that this Newfoundland coin. In hand its an absolute beauty so please remove it

Further more you cannot compare Newf. strikes to the Canadian series . not the same at all

My opinion of it hasn't.
artdio...granted there are subtle differences between Newf and Canadian strikes.
However, there certainly isn't the broad range of difference from an ef45 to an ms65.

YOu may have your opinion just like anyone. But in this instance I know what it graded 2 times and both different but both times higher than the opinions of the Newf coin. That said I also have mine and perhaps its not MS 65 but it sure is better than what was said. In hand the luster is amazing and any marks are nearly invisible to the naked eye.. The price like anything else is a starting point. If the right offer is put forth its a gonner

PD, could you maybe take pics of the coin without the 2 x 2. The last pic makes it look like it might be whizzed or cleaned. Maybe its just the plastic?

I'd say somewhere in the low MS, but might be an AU58 too

AU-55 maybe you could get it a little higher like a MS-60. too many small scratches. not much wear though.  |
