Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 6:33 pm From the picture it looks about F-12 could be a bad picture though but I doubt a bad picture could hide that much detail. At least it's a proper Far 6 most people list Far 6's that aren't. Edited by Talonbat 05/31/2016 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 12:07 am Assuming this was ebay, people put whatever they want as the grade. Those with less experience may end up paying more for less, unfortunately. I'd say F/VF, very hard to tell as the picture they provided is small and not too sharp. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 03:42 am I'd say F-12 to 15 as well... too much wear for a 20, let alone a 30 or a 40. The "far 6" designation has had a rough life and ICCS has stopped cert'ing them and Charlton has stopped listing them in the front. Because the 6 was handpunched into each working die, the 6 can be near, far, high, low or rotated in any varying degree. The coin shown is not the coin that ICCS started certifying 10-12 years ago. The coin that most feel is the "real" or first far 6 is a bit wider than the one shown in this photo and was also slightly canted or rotated CCW. This one has, if any, a rotation that is CW.

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 3:20 pm F15 for me too. Something with the surface is throwing me off, but I'm not sure if that's just over sharpening the photo Report this Post to the Staff
