staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 7:29 pm Hi Wert, nice coin. EF is about right. AU stands for Almost Uncirculated. When you go shopping at ebay, you'll notice a lot of sellers using BU, which stands for Brilliant - Uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff

chwkboy Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 12:58 am The reverse looks great BUT you need a photo of BOTH sides in order to give an accurate grade. The grade comes from the lesser of the two sides not the better. Do you have a photo of the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
