This is for fun - an 1864 Nova Scotia cent - I doubt anyone will guess correctly

Based on your comment there is probably a trick to this, so I should go with something goofy like AU 50. However, my honest try would be VF 30 (I am assuming the hairlines on the obverse are actually on the holder).

I think I will go the other way on this and say F15.
By chequers statement, it must be graded pretty far off.
RidgeWest, one of us must be close.

JimmyD, on reflection, I am wondering if instead of far off, the grade is some non-standard rendering like say F 18, VF 25 or VF 35?

I am going to change my grade to VF 25.

AU 50 very weak strike, not wear from circulation, that is my guess

I won't leave this going too long, since it's a bit of an odd one. Yes, the scuff marks are on the plastic.

MS62 or F12
About equidistant from the grade I would give.
I'll go for the bottom.
F12 it is.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Usually we see great hair detail on these..so I will also go down to an F-15..just to mix it up a bit more..



..and the reverse shows next to no wear ...Go figure..!!

So I'm changing my mind here and now it's an MS 60.....(greaser..?)

..and that's because the rims are perfect in a few places with a raised bead in spots on both sides..

..

Okay, I'll put everyone out of their misery since clearly no one can grade this properly - It's actually a New Brunswick cent in F-12 with a tall 6 ... sheesh

Ah, I didn't see DBM's edit, but he still missed the province and variety.

Swing and a miss. Send it back to ICCS and tell them to guess again.

I would venture a guess that there's a NB cent out there that matches these credentials, but with the insert for this NS coin. It would be cool to reunite them.

Somewhere there's an F12 coin with an EF45 grade and a happy ICCS customer.
