Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1232 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 1:15 pm There are very few marks or dings on this coin and it has a nice chocolate brown patina, an attractive coin in hand. Opinions or help with the grade please? Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 1:23 pm Isn't this one of the prettiest Canadian Tokens? My guestimate would be around XF45-AU50 Report this Post to the Staff

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 2:00 pm I don't know how to grade those, but I would guess AU. It really is a beautiful token, and has some die cracks Obverse and Reverse. Nice one Bill! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 8:39 pm Wear on the high points of the design, which results in AU55. Those high points have spent decades in re patination, but they are a bit lighter than the surrounding areas. A lot of the minor nicks and scratches in the fields are are quite well hidden under the patina, to the extent that it is easy to ignore them. That's a good thing. Pleasing example.

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 9:02 pm typically a well struck series, XF40/45 . Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 9:37 pm AU 50 for me as the light high obverse spots show the very start of wear... ...whereas the reverse rim has done a fine job of protecting the leaves better than the obverse rim.. A much busier reverse design usually shows less contact.. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 12/23/2017 07:43 am Nice one Bill.. I see a bit of rub on the Queens hair so, AU-50. Also, it's a Nova Scotia coin so you can drop off to me any time.. Report this Post to the Staff
