1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 12/18/2014 05:52 am Judging by the picture provided, there is a clear lack of sharpness in the rear hair area, and in the braid detail. By older (more conservative) ICCS standards, it's an EF-40. The reverse is excellent, but the established pattern for wear on the obverse holds the coin back. It's a great example of how ICCS grades, and for demonstrating how little the reverse factors into the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 12/18/2014 3:37 pm Judging by the pics supplied there is a weakness in the hair braid as is often seen even up to near unc examples. The eyelid shows a touch of flatness that should see a grade of at worse 45 or 50,..but never 40.. IMHO...but then again...I'm not a grader.... Report this Post to the Staff
