Tlutz Valued Member Canada 56 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 4:25 pm Picked this coin up, I believe it might be an au50. It shows almost no wear on the crown. Thanks for the knowledge Report this Post to the Staff

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 5:04 pm I'm at EF-40 on this one.... small jewels are almost all but worn unless this was a weak strike... then the luster is hardly in the fields with the exception of between the letters... Report this Post to the Staff

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 9:50 pm I say it may have seen a cleaning at some point. EF45 for me Report this Post to the Staff
Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 02:26 am EF. Paulsz , I think this literally could have just rubbed the wrong way. A thumb maybe. Imho Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 10:03 am Definitely more than a thumb rub ..IMHO.. Someone with a Kleenex decided to remove the tarnish and rubbed all of the obverse until there wasn't any luster left in the fields...really too bad.. EF 45 because of it..

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 12:35 pm oh okay. So nothing chemical, just a lot rubbing will do that? just wondering because it looked like it was rubbed on the fields, but couldn't get between the letters. Good to know :) Report this Post to the Staff
