I have this 1910 Canadian 5 cents. Just hoping to see if anyone can tell if this is pointed or rounded leaves? Because of the wear it all seems rounded to me. maybe I am taking the pointed description to literally? Your opinions on grade as well if possible

any help is appreciated

thanks again

Technically they are not "nickels". The common term for these are "five cent silver".

Your coin is a Pointed Leaves variety. If you have any 5-cent coins from 1911 nad later, you can see what the rounded leaves look like.

Im not exactly new to collecting. Been at it since I was a kid and recently started spending more time shopping around for things, but never really took any time to grade or value most of what I have. Mostly just bought what was interesting or nice looking without too much thought on mintage, grading or things like that
