DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 5:33 pm IMHO... MS 63. What a wonderful piece of gold. Such a soft metal and so easily marked. Beautiful fields on that coin. ...any touch contact and it's there forever.. Would the experts here agree that the '14 gold' is the hardest to find in a very high grade..?...and the 14 $10 even harder..? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 7:55 pm Probably one of the nicest ones I have seen, from the Bank of Canada Reserve. PCGS would easily grade that one MS-64. Compare that coin to these MS-64 coins: http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/all...aspx?s=10020 http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/all...aspx?s=54285 http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/all...aspx?s=68895 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

MJT Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 12:14 am I think it is a beautiful Hand select 1914 $5. I dont see my Hand select coins comparable to this coin Report this Post to the Staff
moejaber Valued Member Canada 147 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 1:09 pm @ Cameron You make a valid point. I always used to collect coins but grading was never my forte nor did it interest me, all I looked for was good examples of the coins I wish to have. But after falling into this grading fiasco it makes me wonder how come a single persons opinion can have that much influence on a coins worth? and why cant the grading process be more of a group effort, like a committee of experts(kinda demanding I know) all in all, I bought this coin for the same reason I buy any other coin, its historic significance and I'm very pleased with it!

moejaber Valued Member Canada 147 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 1:32 pm Thank you all for your opinion! I surely am even happier to own this gorgeous coin! However, I have a question, if you look at the first pic of the observe I provided and compare it to the the last too zoomed in you'll notice that the luster on the first shows nicely, yet it does show more "lines?" and aging than the last two which honestly shows the necks and scratched but makes the field looks "smooth". what are these lines and do they detract from the coins value? i hope I make sense lol Report this Post to the Staff
