DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 6:35 pm Wow ..great coin.. The first pic makes it look AU 58 ....and then the last 2 makes it look like a MS 62 or 63. Just the slightest touch on the eye lid from the first pic tells us a bit. Wonderful piece... Report this Post to the Staff

Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 8:13 pm A beauty no matter what she grades! I'd give it about a 2/3 shot that it comes back MS. It's just too sharp to be only an AU58, IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 9:33 pm I'd call it a 63. Nice pick up! Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 9:42 pm Nice coin with a strong strike, gorgeous toning and appears original and untouched. I'd say it was probably close to a "first strike" piece and wouldn't hesitate in saying I.C.C.S. will give it an MS-64. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 10:01 pm There is some cabinet friction where the patina has been worn down on the high points. I notice that is on one side of the coin only, so I am fairly certain that it is not from circulation wear. If it was, those high points would have been patinated over again, as suggested by the patination on the rest of the coin. I think that there has been the tiniest amount of wear (cabinet friction or similar), on those high points. Museums place their coins in cabinets, and so cabinet friction over the decades happens on the side of the coin on which it happens to be resting. I think this coin makes the case that coins are better off stored in Mylar flips or non PVC Saflips. Does not matter any further for this piece, if it is headed for slabbing. One of the problems with slabbing, especially in this case, is that those high points will continue to be obvious, in an air tight environment. They are, in fact, only a very minor point to quibble about. AU58. Great patination, except for those high points. Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 10:31 pm Very nice original coin, exceptional strike and detail. MS63 and possible a 64. Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 10:33 pm Thanks everyone. I'm with glenzy, as I think it may grade a 64. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 11:05 pm Nice one! I agree with wireman. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 1:36 pm Just a quick question for the known experts here. 1...Would her eye lid (not the eyebrow) be sitting up higher than those highest bands of hair? The fields look wonderful,..but I (as you) can see some contact/rub on that eyelid in the 1st more shiny pic..I'm asking because "if" the eyelid is a touch lower than the hair, how would cabinet friction get to contact that eyelid? That toning is perfect and makes it look soooo antique... . . . I've just looked at my toned 1901 10 cent coin. It's eyelid is more flat than yours and it's graded MS60 ...so yours should grade much higher ...and I was wrong in my above grading..(again ) Pics to compare if you want..... . . . .
