You-Vs.-PCGS:-1883-H-Canada-5-Cents


I must apologize, for the quality of images, they don't really show the full extent of the coin's color, strike or detail. My lighting setup is, well... less than adequate.

Here's a couple of more pics that might help you grade better.

Just shows you how a picture can determine the grade.

First pic I would have guessed ms63 or ms64.

Second guess is more like an au55 or au58.

I would call that 83 a strong strike ...and seldom seen with such detail in here hair in the front of her ear.

So for me it's a 62 ...and that's only because of the fine swirls in the field behind her head and maybe on the reverse also around the coin top center.
The obverse actually looks nicer that the reverse on this coin..
It would be nice if the swirls are only in the plastic holder..

I would ask for a "review of grade" on that one..
