I Am looking at some coins on ebay from a shop on the Rock, but I don't trust my grading skills yet. Your thoughts are appreciated. I will post more later, but let's deal with one at a time,

Edit: I've added the ebay listing if that'll help

Thanks

Photos are too low resolution to really grade (are they scratched? The pixellation could hide a lot) they all appear to be reasonably problem free, I would say F-VF.

The price of these 4 coins, including shipping, is $5. That should give you enough indications as to what grade coins these are.

I see $20 plus $3 shipping.

The photos are too small to really give an accurate grade or see if there are problems with them (potential cleaning).

Whoa, my eyes! You are absolutely right - $20. So $23 for 4 coins, probably dealing with F-VF coins.

But I do see a lot of scratching. I wouldn't treat these much beyond melt.

i have bought from this seller with no issues.... I think the pictures aren't good which makes it hard to tell the grade but I think these would grade VF and the '41 would grade EF...

$5 each seems a touch pricy

you might be able to find a better price at the coin expo

Agree with the pictures provided I would think this would be maybe 15 or less for the lot. The 1941 is the only one that seems over VF grade. I always love Newfoundland coins though.

You are welcome...

Drop by my table at Coin Expo and say hello... the other CCF Canadian collectors tend to congregate there as well. Lots of guys will be there to help you with grading NFLD coins.
