Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 10:12 am It's tough to grade these proof coins because they are higher on the scale. At that high in grade, I think we would need to see it in hand to assess it. I can't give it a numerical grade, but based on the photos, the marks behind the queen are distracting. So are the marks between the A and R of DOLLAR. Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is likely worth less than $5. Here's an example of what a low grade nickel proof sold for; 152124087555 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 08/21/2016 12:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
