I am not an expert on these, but looks like a near to me. I don't know if there is a middle of the road on this, but it looks close to a far.

Don in Market I hope you are ok with me copying your images and re-posting them in original color. this is not to hijack your post. it is to show and compare two identical coins with perhaps a slightly different grade... or maybe not.? we shall let the experts dissect this one with the ifs and buts of why it is and or why it is not. should be interesting...  Also one question: would you recommend for either coin be certified, assuming the cost is under $10? thanks everyone...

I don't think either of these coins would grade any higher then MS63. Hard to see in these photos but somethings going on to the left of Canada and the date if rust is involved I have concerns with it even being straight graded. Photo's showing this area would be helpful. Neither coin should be graded similar coins can be bought for less then grading fees. Cheers, Bill

H - your coin on the bottom has the 'Trail Dies' phenomenon.

Nothing comparable for these two coins. Looks to me like a planchet flaw on the reverse of the OP's MS coin. Looks to me like there is wear on the second coin, the hair over the Queen's ear and the beaver's tail.

DBM my coin came from a brand new unopened (until I opened it) original roll. Received this and 25 other rolls with a collection. Opened it about a year ago. Gave some of them away as examples of guaranteed uncirculated coins. First considered having some graded. But then my economics mind kicked in and that thought vanished as they would have had to grade at minimum 65 to be ahead of the game. so, If there is wear on it, maybe Santa had used it before.? Miracles do happen, right? actually , all I wanted to know (considering the trail dies) if it would be worth to have graded if grading would be under $10. SPP was the only reader who correctly Id'd it. so the question is not what grade is it, but is it worth grading under the now revealed secret. And, perhaps what would the value be? BTW, I have seen 53's without the trails ICCS graded as 65's and 66 in worse shape than mine.

Sorry H but ICCS would not put " Trail Dies " on a certificate . They don't grade errors or similar. Maybe CCCS would ?

Quote: a brand new unopened (until I opened it) original roll. The mint did not issue coins in rolls in 1953. Coins left the mint in bags. Banks and other services rolled coins back then, there is absolutely no assurance that all coins in a roll from that era are MS, they can contain both mintstate and circulated coins. The only way to be sure is to examine each and every individual coin.

Absolutely concur , you can have ORIGINAL unopened Bank Rolls from the 1950s and 1960s , what's inside may surprise the heck out of you! Recently bought 5 rolls of 1967 Fish Dimes ( Bank of Montreal VANCOUVER). Cracked them all , 4 were straight 1967 , one was very mixed mostly earlier worn 800 fine ! Bonus.

As you guys know, "young" coins are not within my interest. all I know is that I received these as part of a collection I purchased and there were rolls, many of them. just a little while ago I came across the trails. Pacific, I am not sure if I will get it graded. maybe it is not worth the effort? even CCCS will take around $ 8-10. I have other 53's from the same roll without trails. so, whoever rolled these was probably not aware of it or did not care. there were also vanilla high grade 67s dimes and quarters. some a sort of diving cougars and very interesting toned dimes. all were in High grade rolls.
