Seems to have good detail and luster but there's that gouge above the 19 in the date and another on about half an inch to the left of it. Also the long scratch across the coin obverse passing the crown of the King's head. How would that affect the grading? Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse groove might be written off as a bad bag mark, but the obverse scratch looks really significant, and would probably get a "scratched" notation from a grading service. However, it's a rare date. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/13/2012 02:22 am EF40 Canadian circulated coins are traditionaly graded on wear only,scratches and gouges do not influence grade.They do however impact value,drastically. Report this Post to the Staff
