aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 08:48 am Is this a NL or a FL? And how do you think ICCS would grade it? The coin is in a NGC slab without a NL/FL designation. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 09:18 am Looks like you have a winner. NSF Near Leaf. What did NGC grade it at? I'm not sure if those scratches are on coin or holder. Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 12:39 pm JimmyD - Thanks for confirming. It's my 1st NSF NL. I'd like to get a few grades before I post what NGC gave it. I mainly collect KG V 5 cents and don't know how to grade the KG VI series yet. It looks like a low grade to me. If so, do you think ICCS will designate it as scratched or is this just par for the course given usage in parking meters etc. I'm probably going to crack this out and send to ICCS. If anyone has an ICCS pop report for NSF NL mules, please post. Report this Post to the Staff

aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 4:06 pm Thanks guys. NGC graded it "XF details OBV Scratched". Personally, I agree with the net F15 and do not see this as even close to XF. Report this Post to the Staff
Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 01:03 am Nice coin for the collection. Yup. F15-VF Edited by Canacoins 03/17/2015 01:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 11:43 am Received the coin last week. It took forever to arrive. It looks so much better in hand than I thought it would based on the photos above which is why NGC probably gave it an XF details grade. The luster/shine under the letters around the rim is strong and clean and the scratches aren't nearly as noticeable. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 11:12 am I think XF is high but F is harsh. Have a look online at some of the pictures of ICCS graded NSF coins. 53 F graded coins have significantly more wear on high points. This coin would grade VF20/30 with ICCS. I would generally stay away from sending problem coins to either NGC or PCGS. You're just not going to get a grade. Report this Post to the Staff
