Just got this coin in the mail today. Hopefully I could get some seasoned opinions on the grade of this coin. I know that the pictures could be better, but I'm doing the best I can with what I've got.

Thanks in advance......

Looks like an EF, but the colour looks funny on the obverse, like someone licked their thumb and rubbed off dirt, and some of the patina.

scratch down the middle between E and N,
couple of dings, cheek and on rim between A and D (of canADa)

other than that REALLY NICE.

Thanks Wade. I bought it off of ebay, and it was listed as an MS-64. Pictures were not detailed enough to get a good look. Because of the lack of detail in the pictures I bid on this as though it was an EF, and got it for a reasonable price.

The pictures are not quite in focus, but looks like an AU coin, perhaps with a little bit too much "restoration" on the obverse side.
