M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 9:38 pm A couple of weeks ago found this at the LCS bargain bin, .25 cents it cost. The reverse has some scratches on it and yes it's holed too lol. There is a fair bit of pitting on the obverse. Overall the details look pretty sharp tho and not seeing much in the way of flat spots, how would this one grade? Thanks for the help in advance.

In any condition it's silver value would be worth more than a quarter and it's bottom price should never be below spot regardless of grade Report this Post to the Staff

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/23/2014 11:26 am update on the coin, brought it into a coin shop (40 years experience dealing) it is confirmed to be genuine, his thoughts are a long time in water and the pitting being corrosion so this was a good find for sure. Cheers. jon Report this Post to the Staff
