M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 10:04 pm nice score on the 1929, imo it's a high nine as the top of it is above the straight line of the other 3 digits. Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 12:05 am I'm so embarrassed. I didn't see where the plastic was open on one end. Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 11:54 am Not a high nine, high nine you look at the bottom, all of the numbers need to be on the same line, meaning the 9 rises above the top of the other numbers. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...nt-1920-1936 Still its in great shape, and one I would add to my collection.

Including the paper envelopes they were usually stored inside. Report this Post to the Staff
