M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 11:15 am I was checking out some coins and came across this one, I really don't think it's a far 6 and there's over 20 bids on it. I put a straight edge across the bottom of the leave tips and the top of the 6 is above the edge. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-Far-6-...em5408d9ade9 Report this Post to the Staff

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 11:21 am Dbm, so I'm confused now as I have two like this that I thought were near 6, what am I missing here? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 11:28 am Draw a line on the right hand side of the 6 from the fullest part of the circle to the point at the top, for a near 6 this line will be well into the leaf, for far 6 it will just graze the leaf. Post pics of yours if you can. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/11/2014 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 8:09 pm With the near 6 the point of the 6 is almost touching the leaf, with the far 6 the 6 has a bit of rotation to it as it draws away from the leaf. The coin in the ebay listing is a Far 6 Edited by SHAFTA9a 05/11/2014 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
