enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 05:07 am This looks cleaned to me and might be worth $5. Obverse is very worn, I would go with overall VG for this coin. Too hard to see if it has the H mintmark but I dont think it matters either way in this grade. A start to an Australian collection. Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 05:24 am I cannot understand why this coin is valued so low when in the US in 1915 there were about 56 million cents made and in Canada there were just under 5 million cents made. This one has a mintage of less than 1 million Go Figure. Still a collectible coin and well worth hanging on to, even if it is low grade Report this Post to the Staff

I totally agree with that but there is an increasing awareness worldwide of the low mintage coins we have to offer here. So I suggest that every Aussie gets their sets ( especially the pre Decimal) up to scratch before all our good coins head overseas and the costs go up exponentially to acquire these coins Report this Post to the Staff
Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 686 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 01:00 am Weird wear pattern Obv vs Rev. I'd guess VG10 unless that is a hole in front of George's nose, if so...damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
