akimm New Member Czech Republic 8 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 05:15 am Hello collectors, I bought this coin from top rated seller - but now his account is canceled for selling fake coins. Can you tell me if this coin is original? Weight is 5,7 grams. Thank you very much Moved by Forum Mom from Identification forum to Canadian Coins forum. Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 12:39 pm The pictures are a bit fuzzy (and so are my eyes!) but I would guess an Obv 4 SBE (Short Bough Ends). Maybe a G6 (some may call it a VG8). Would need a close up of the last 6 in the date to see if it's a regular Plain 6 or one of the 6/6 varieties.

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 5:47 pm Could be a 6/6-1. Seems the closest match but the shape of the knob seems just a bit funny so I wouldn't want to commit to it. Definitely not a 6/6-2. Report this Post to the Staff
