Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 3:45 pm Just looking for grading opinions as well as confirmation on what I think is Obv 5. Didn't realize how difficult it is to get a decent picture of such a small coin so sorry for the pictures wish they could be better. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 5:27 pm Someone on CCF (I wish I remembered who) told me the easiest way to determine OBV. varieties and it's all in the forehead. The Charlton tells you to look at the ears, lips and chin and on midgrade coins like this, without an untrained eye you can be looking all day. Trust me, I did lol. The obv 4 has a flat forehead from the hairline to the bridge of the nose with a small valley in the middle. The obv 5 stays almost parallel with the "EI" near the hairline and is rounded to the bridge of the nose, as yours is. Report this Post to the Staff
Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 5:31 pm That's right it's all in the forehead (well, the easiest way at least). A F details grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 5:42 pm I see what you're saying with the flat forehead, very good advice and easy to see on even lower grade coins I would imagine. Edited by Talonbat 02/12/2016 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
