coinsarecool Valued Member 165 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 10:23 am Will seeing the other side of the coin help at all? Are there any markers? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 1:44 pm A picture of the whole coin would have been nice but from what I see, it is a far six. FYI- When looking at the six, go by the distance from the bottom of the six to the rim. It is too easy to take a near six and file off the tip of the six to make it look like a far six.

coinsarecool Valued Member 165 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 2:25 pm Thank you JimmyD - very helpful. This particular coin is not in best shape and I really just needed a 2nd opinion. I looked at the other side of this coin and it was not at all helping me. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 2:27 pm I compare the gaps between the 9/2, 2/6 & 6/leaf. On a far 6 they are almost all the same. On a near 6, the 9/2 gap is les than the 2/6 gap and the 6/leaf is much narrower. They can do all the trimming on the tip of the 6, but the gaps of the digits themselves will always remain.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 5:46 pm Agree Far 6. The Near 6 just looks awkwardly spaced at first glance. Report this Post to the Staff
