Help Me Grade This 1948 Canadian Dollar.

Looks polished to me too

Absolutely impossible to tell from those pics.

Photos with better lighting needed.

Here are 2 more images of the 1948
I am also including 3 other dollars that are all part of the set.

All appear to be cleaned or polished to some degree .

I would agree on cleaned or polished.if you can get a nice price on the 45 and 48, it is not a bad way to complete a dollar set, assuming you don't mind the issues.

I bought a big lot of silver coins a few years ago, which included many cleaned dollars. At the correct angle/lighting the 48 looked nice, but in hand it was not attractive. I assumed cleaned going in and paid accordingly. Here is a photo of the worst angle/light I could make.





End of the day I ended up buying a nicer one because I wasnt happy with the one pictured above. But the price was right, so I was ok with the cleaned version, as it will still fetch a decent amount of money when I end up selling it.

If your looking to buy, I would suggest thinking hard on it, it is a pricy coin in that condition and be sure you are happy with it.

If you have 10 coins worth grading, you could politely ask ANACS if they would apply their monthly special to Canadian coins and wait for the next special (it's currently only US Silver Eagles for Feb.). It worked for me - it was10 US coins for $169 in December 2022 and they let me use it on Canadian. Especially since you're in the US that's what I would do. They are at a lot of smaller coin shows where you can submit in person.

I'm curious where "Anacs has upgraded their grading capabilities with Canadian coins" comes from. Certainly from my limited recent experience they were conservative. Some were 1-2 points lower than I expected, most were spot on, and not one was overgraded. With mine I knew that none of them had ever been cleaned though, and with yours it seems like more of a gamble.
