1952 Canadian Dollar Grade

ms 64

Be careful, the lighting is set up to downplay defects on that coin. That is the danger of photography, and online grading. Look in the northern lights, above the bow of the canoe in the reverse fields. You will see two very large scratches from the second A of CANADA to the last A. There are other scratches in the obverse fields, like from the first A to the last A of GRATIA in the open fields. You also see two decent sized dings in the cheekbone and jaw of the King. Make sure there is a return policy, because it could look entirely different in hand. I would tentatively put a MS-62 to MS-63 grade on that coin.

Also, something does not look right with the King's lips and the effigy in general, but this is not my series... so for now, it is just a gut feeling...

Thanks Everyone.

And Thanks SPP for pointing out some major problems on the coin. Some of them, I didn't even notice. The seller does have a 14 day return policy.

The big pic in the auction makes me think at least the obverse was whizzed.

The price is trends for a coin without issues. This one is worth $BV. And he wants you to pay $13 for postage for a $29 price? American sellers are sometimes paranoid to the extreme, and expect Canadians to pay for that paranoia.

Heck, I've won Canadian coin auctions on ebay.c a (this forum flips .ca to .com) that THEY cross-listed in error, and despite my rankings and history, the seller wouldn't accept the sale.

Apparently some want to eliminate as much demand as they possibly can, so then they can complain about how Obama has ruined the economy.

SPP is pretty much on the money. There are also two dings on George's face. One on his cheek, under the eye. The other on his lower jowl.
