These small marks may have been why the coin only graded MS64 But I have seen MS65 coins that are not as nice as this particular coin. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 10/05/2017 1:50 pm And I don't mean to harp on the negativity with respect US TPGS but I think this coin is fairly graded. I think both PCGS and NGC have become far more consistent in the world of "MS" grading of Canadian coins. I would venture to say more so than ICCS in recent history. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisCat Valued Member Canada 288 Posts	Posted 10/05/2017 2:48 pm ^^ I second that opinion. ICCS can be all over the place with these dollars. It's infuriating. Report this Post to the Staff
Andy888 Valued Member Canada 324 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 2:05 pm I think MS-64 is a fair grade for this one. Its beautiful! Report this Post to the Staff
TheBurnz Pillar of the Community Canada 586 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 2:53 pm I'm new to this and I am finding it difficult to grade anything. I wasn't impressed with this coin. The toning was beautiful but I found the leaves on the queens head were not very pronounced and I found it hard to distinguish them on some parts of he head. I thought it was AU or MS-60.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 3:39 pm No way an AU coin. I agree with the grade it received. TheBurnz It's important to remember that an MS60 coin is not close in looks to an AU58 coin. The AU grade us given if there is any WEAR the MS grade when there is no WEAR.The numbers within MS are representative of bag marks, distractions, contact marks.... Never wear. Usually an AU58 coin will be almost a 63 or better - were it to be an MS coin. Report this Post to the Staff
