I was rummaging through the world coins at a coin shop and picked this nice piece up for 20 cents. I thought it was cool that it was even less than face value! So what sort of shape is this one in? I don't know what the average ones look like and I've never had one of these before so I don't have much to compare it to.

Did I strike a good find here or is this an average coin?

here's the obverse:

and the reverse:

Super Find!

I'd say it grades EF, and would value around $35. Congratulations!

Amazing find for a world coin box; I would think any dealer would have at least a basic idea of what that was, even just for the silver content of it. Looks to have some original mint color; just light wear on the shoulder and the band on the crown keep it away from AU.

I think the N might be because of the light.

Well that just has me drooling and excited. Can't wait to hit a few coin shops in phoenix next week, will there be some cheap unwanted Canadian coins? Crossing my fingers.

on the same day, I found a 1960's Bahama 50 cent piece (80% silver) and was pretty excited. I bought nearly a quarter ounce of silver that day for 40 cents.

I wish anyone luck that goes through the world coins. I recognized the color of the silver and asked to go through their coin book to verify my suspicion.
