AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 9:31 pm I haven't seen enough of these to know but I've studied the images of the 1885s in the Charlton and I can't tell a difference. It is the right OBV. and REV for the date. The date looks like a "curved top 5". If it's a fake, I'd guess it's of very high quality, I watch this with much interest. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 9:38 pm Doesn't look right to me either. Leaves too close to Crown, broken stems, misshapen leaves etc. I don't believe the Obverse is right as well Edited by JimmyD 02/19/2016 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 9:41 pm I agree. Leaves too close to Crown, broken stems, misshapen leaves etc I see what you're saying. Report this Post to the Staff

fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1679 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 10:04 pm I think its the Q2 Cr 5 and Looks genuine F12 Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Edited by fourmack 02/19/2016 10:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 10:31 pm F12 This one is not counterfeit. All 1885's have the broken stems reverse. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 12:36 am Solid coin at least Fine 12. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 07:18 am Don't grade the Canada twenty five cents. But, if nickelsguy says it looks o.k. to him, it must be o.k. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 08:35 am I guess I blew this one. If nickelsguy says it's genuine, then it is. I just thought that I remember reading somewhere that if it had broken vines, it was counterfeit. My apologies to Osiris. Report this Post to the Staff
Osiris Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 02/20/2016 1:00 pm Thanks for the feedback. I figured it was F12, with the crown a little better than that, but the hair about right, and on a good day may rate a little higher (because it's my coin - human nature etc). Report this Post to the Staff
