staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 6:41 pm Hi there. I'm hoping for some help with grading the 1912 cent shown below. I didn't want to remove it from the capsule for fear of leaving any handling marks! Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 7:34 pm Wow staircase let the drool begin. That is very nice. I want to say MS 65 red with one carbon spot. Is it as red without the flash, or is it more brown like the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 8:15 pm Thanks for the comments, all very encouraging and much appreciated! Cownick, good question. The photo of the reverse is not very good, probably because of the plastic. It actually has the same brightness as the obverse. I took another quick pic from the same angle as the obverse. A few marks do show in this photo, but they are on the capsule (with the exception of a couple). Thanks again! Edited by staircase 12/11/2011 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 1:47 pm staircase, Let me be the first one to ask you. What did you have to pay for this gem ? Report this Post to the Staff
staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 6:10 pm Thanks again for the input. Littlemoney, it was some time ago but I'm positive the price tag was around $25 plus sundries. Report this Post to the Staff
littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 7:45 pm staircase I could do $25 for a gem like that no problem. Report this Post to the Staff
