Hello, Canadian CCF Grading Experts! American coin collector here, I recently purchased a large volume of old Canadian nickels for 5ยข each in USD, and came to realize that some of them might have some collector value. I intend to sell this coin, as I believe it to be in a lower mint-state condition. What do you folks think?   What do you figure the coin might sell for? Any guidance would be appreciated. Peace and Freedom, Shnug Staff edit: Do not mention selling here until you are able to do so. |

Nice coin Shnug, looks AU or so to me but, somewhat bigger pics would help.

 Definitely AU+ with clean looking fields, but need better pictures. Wish I could find George V 5 cents at face value, especially in that condition  |

The right 23 could have a good value but we "really" need sharper pics that would show the surface luster better.
That reverse pic seems too perfect or too smooth "to me". It almost comes across as a specimen finish...and that would be ultra rare..
I'm used to seeing some contacts on the large 5 and here I can't see any touches and there should be some there..
If possible also include a sharp pic of the tip of the mustache and another of the band in the crown and 2nd set of beads please..

Impossible to grade from the pictures.
Whenever the picture is angled resulting in a highly 'reflective' coin (as in the obverse pic), the coin's grade is impossible to determine because the fields show no detail whatsoever.
The fields could be ms64 or ms65 quality and they can also be au50 hairlined quality.....who knows?

Now I can say confidently ef45 to au50 and a very good lesson why no purchases should be made on ebay when the coin's picture is highly reflective. |

I'd say EF40-45 based on the latter pics.
