Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/16/2016 5:03 pm I just got this very nice-looking Nova Scotia Half Penny. How would you grade it? Do you think that it would make AU or would it be more of a solid EF? Also, I was unable to find this particular coin on the NGC website. Would you happen to know the KM number as well as the mintage? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/16/2016 5:29 pm oriole- Really? Only VF to EF? Hmmmm. Well, the shininess is mostly just due to the lighting on the obverse. But there really is very little wear on the reverse. But, yeah, there may have been an old cleaning & retoning. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 07/17/2016 1:47 pm @archraz, You and the others have a point. I must have been in a negative mood. I would agree with XF-AU. I still think that there is too much wear for an AU, though. Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 07/18/2016 2:54 pm I would say EF also. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
