I don't have a lot of experience grading Canadian coins of any sort, and am looking for help with a grade for this 1916 George V large cent. In hand it's a great looking coin. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Report this Post to the Staff

Of course now that I see it's on a Canadian large cent then no harm done. Even though I'm not that good at copper, I will say this is VF-30. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/28/2015 12:45 am I bet a TPG would give it EF40 on technical merits. Virtually free of distracting marks and the wear really isn't down into 20-30 range IMHO. Do something about the verdigris. Report this Post to the Staff
techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 6:00 pm VF30. Too much wear on vertical crown jewels for even a TPG to grade it EF. Nice coin though. Report this Post to the Staff
