Looks like a fairly solid VF coin , but needs better pictures!
Retake them under different light sources
Why don't you just show the whole slab and we can
discuss. I have had several that look like this that end up
ICCS VF20 or 30 holders or NGC or PCGS XF40 holders.

VF-30 is my guess. I think okiecoiner has it pegged though.

Im at EF40. Suspect it is in an NGC AU50 holder though.

I'm not a fan of TPG but especially outliers like ICG, assuming this a bona fide holder. It seems likely there is some major fakery (not the word I really want to use) goin on here.

Well, the initial ICG was put out of business just because of crapolla like the above. I think that the original was in Florida, but had heard that it grew feet again.

That's a recent slab.
If you look at ICG Vickies on ebay it seems as though a dartboard may be an important tool used for grading these coins.

MS-62! Wow. That's very far off from the consensus. Thanks for sharing- enjoyed this one!

They grade Canada coins at ICG just like PSA grades classic
O-Pee-Chee cards badly !
Both probably hire graders based on previous experience.
" Any previous experience grading ?" " Yes Burger King 4 months "
" Start Monday "
This coin is a joke of a grade!

The picture is bad which makes it hard to tell if it's an Obv. 1 or Obv. 2. I'm guessing 2, and it would be a decent coin at F-12 if it were the rarer Obv. 1. With that ridiculous grade as an Obv. 2 it would trend at about 1200 Canadian and in the words of Mr. T..."I pity the fool" that would pay that price, lol
