I'd say Fine due to scratches at most I think

Johnny, your coin pictured is a shoulder fold combined with a near leaf reverse. Common, sorry.

Thanks for the info Zonad.

I was going through a site wich states the recent trends for Canadian coin

here is an sample of the page wich caused me to believe this was a rare coin


Date Description F12 VF20 EF40 AU50 MS60 MS63 MS64 MS65
1953 no Sh Strap .25 .50 1.00 2.00 3.50 7.00 15 35 steel
1953 noSS, near leaf 700 1100 1500 2000
1953 ShoulderStrap .25 .50 1.00 2.50 4.50 8.00 18 35
1953 SS, near leaf 400 650 1000 1800

I'm assuming that the last entry signified ( SS ) refers to shoulder strap


I have been collecting coins for a long time, but until recently , never priced any out or did much WRT grading any of them so I thank you for your time in this

cheers
