look at the absolutely clean scratches behind the neck. the coin is nearly 100 years old...... where was it? kept away from dirt? was it always stored perfectly. NOW, I am not saying that this coin is not nice. All I am saying is that I personally think it is cleaned. A TPG might think it is ok. DBM you are the expert. ( by the way, liked what you wrote in the other forum....) too bad we can not respond... |

I'm definitely not an expert, but that does NOT look cleaned, and without knowing the details of the strike for that issue I can't say whether it would be an AU/MS grade. However, on first look my guess would be MS63ish. Again, I don't know anything about the strikes for this issue, where the wear points are, etc. Quote:

where was it? kept away from dirt? was it always stored perfectly. Are you serious? You don't think a coin can be in that shape after 90 years without being cleaned? That's just wrong on principle. |

Sometimes it's tricky to distinguish wear from strike.
To my eyes, the luster points to a MS coin.

It's possible to have an MS coin with what look like jewels in the vertical band of the crown?

Is it possible to have higher than ms-60 with a brown coin? I notice Charltons lists these coins as ms60 brown then higher at red-brown then red.

Sure. PCGS has Canadian coins graded 66 brown. I have seen ICCS coins graded 64 lustrous brown.

Color designations are just that... color designations. Not sure if the TPGs would agree with me though. And dialog_gvf, that could very well be wear, in which case this would probably be a mid-high AU. |
