Definitely getting better - I'm thinking more like a very clean EF to AU now, but that could change!

very weakly struck VF 30 to EF 40. This quality easily available at the 5 to ten dollar mark. better than what you normally find.

This is not a VF to EF coin. It is weakly struck AU. The rims, reverse elements and lustre all speak AU to me.
If I see a like this coin at a show with a $5-$10 price tag on it - I snap them up!!

SPP is right, but I wouldn't pay more than VF-30 prices for one like that.

And there you have it! This has to be the toughest series of classic Canadian coins to grade. Trouble is it may be a weak strike AU as Roger says but to get better than VF 30 money, probably will not happen. This is one series that could easily be market graded ,a la our American cousins and their Grading services.

Not a chance this coin gets a AU from ICCS. At the very best a EF. Lustre?... what lustre.

I think the band, shoulder and cheek are evident of wear, EF45 max. IMO.

I would agree with SPP at AU with a weak strike. Fields look pretty clean, the reverse strike is good (detail is all there). Its just a weak strike evident on the obverse (which I believe is normal for this series)

I am going to post a bunch of ICCS coins from this series from VF to 65 including split grades. Even ICCS is all over the place. If Brian was only grader at ICCS the this series would be consistent. Bet he is not. This weekend will be fun.......

Don't hurt anyone and do not cause a ruckus MM !! Happy Torex weekend !! Thank goodness it is muggy and yucky in TO or I would have to come and drink beer with all you crazy coiners.  . On a serious note 1922 to 1936 five cents are tough to grade and the opinions tend to be all over the road map. |

Jack - none of us go to Torex anymore... you would only hear the crickets chirping at the pub...
Coin Expo is the show that all the old Torex pub gang attends now...

Then sort of the same sound I hear in my back yard, drinking alone. Roger you are right about Torex.........After the Landon sale in February it was awful. No crowd or buzz and a waste of my admission fee.

Torex has definitely been on a major decline in the last few years (or maybe more).
