Yours looks like a Far 6 to me:
Here is a pic I previously posted in the thread I linked to below:

Nice coin!

BTW - here is a former thread I posted about these.

No problem - is there a chance of seeing a pic of the OBV of this coin to try to get an idea of grade? I am just curious b/c the REV looks fairly nice. Do you collect these?

Nice coin and likely an EF. This series is notorious for soft strikes and I have ICCS examples here in UNC that don't have all 8 pearls showing.

Wow - very nice!

Thanks for sharing pics. I do not know why I cannot get enough of the Canadian nickel (non-silver) series even though I completed my first set back in the late 70s. I wish there had been a couple of different mints back then to increase the number of coins for each year - just for the fun of collecting them.

BTW - sorry I missed this the first time...
to CCF!
