Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 5:29 pm Sorry for the best pics, but I can't seem to get proper lighting. The line along the center of the coin going from left to right across the head is a mark (kind of like a pencil mark, and NOT a scratch or ding). But the mark behind the crown on top of it is a contact mark. From the second sets of pics, it looks like the coin has hairlines. But that's the flash being weird bouncing off the coin's surface. Thank you Edited by Paulsz 01/27/2017 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Apitrix Pillar of the Community Canada 581 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 7:34 pm VF35 scratch, also seems like old cleaning. I am just not seeing the EF due to the flatness of the jewels, as well as the wear on the mustache. Edited by Apitrix 01/27/2017 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 7:40 pm Great coin if not for that very noticeable mark across it. The "V" shows how it starts with a dent in to the right part of the "V",..then into the field and then the eyebrow has a slight displacement showing well in the 3rd to last pic. The bottom pic shows metal movement in the ear and into the hair and following into the field behind the head. So some kind of hit..sadly.. So would that be an AU with "Details"..? .

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 1:43 pm Looked it under different light and yes it is in fact a scrape! :( Looked so weird when I first got it. Kind of looked like a thicker black line. But it's definitely a scrape Report this Post to the Staff

IMO more of a AU details. In hand it's easier to assess. I definitely had trouble bringing out the details in my pics. I might send it to ICCS with a batch. it'll come back with a scratch designation but I want to see what they think in terms of grade Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5586 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 05:24 am I'd go with 50 with the scratch noted, but they might bag it. Report this Post to the Staff
