SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 7:43 pm Nice...very nice, a little too much light on the obverse but, overall I would give it VF25/30 Report this Post to the Staff
LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 8:38 pm I would try to limit the light sources to one type - the lighting is a little strange in the obverse shot because it appears you're mixing light sources (incandescent and natural maybe?). Might help to get the light up to a higher angle relative to the coin as well (more directly overhead). I'd say VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff
collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 9:23 pm Thank you, the light is natural light only beside an outside window Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 11:33 pm Is this coin graded by a TPG? Report this Post to the Staff
collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 12:37 am yes it is graded ANACS AU53 I was thinking borderline EF40 Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 01:08 am Very little wear on the reverse.Weakness in the obverse.EF40 at least. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 08:28 am The leaves on the reverse look AU, but the hair going up over the crown on the obverse is missing detail, which would be about EF. Better lighting would help. good looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 986 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 11:09 pm Looks around AU-55 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 7:04 pm It a solid EF 40 maybe 45....If its a weak strike and not cleaned ICCS might take it to AU ... Report this Post to the Staff
