Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 10/25/2012 10:04 pm Bought from an online store with average photos. Please give your opinions. Not with a larger 5 for denomination, here it is to compare with, but this one I copied the denomination 5 and pasted lower for font size comparison.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 10:30 am VF30 cleaned with steel wool. It's so unlike you to post an ordinary coin,there must be more to it. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 10/26/2012 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 10/26/2012 10:35 am Is the top 5 a photoshop cut-and-paste or is this coin now the finest 5/5 found to date? What is that now, 4-5 found?

I seem to be causing more confusion. The top coin is my new buy for $150 including shipping. I posted the second coins photo just so you see the one I just bought is not a denom.5/5 but it is a large date type. I am going to cut the denom 5/5 out of it's ICCS holder and then post all three types photo'd together. The online store called my new one EF45 small date. Here are all three types together.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 10/27/2012 11:36 am Seeing all three together like that somehow adds to the significance of your discovery coin.Nice set of coins thanks for sharing.

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 10/27/2012 7:57 pm A question I have is, if there was only one matrix, why is there the tip of the leaf almost touching the 1 on the first and is not anywhere close on the other two? Report this Post to the Staff

It is where the die crack goes between the leaf and 1. Report this Post to the Staff
