ICCS/CCCS would probably grade this VG-10.
If its PCGS, probably F-12

Is that in a PCGS or CCCS holder?

Thanks everyone. Personally I would put this coin at VG-08. DBM - it is a PCGS holder...and now I will reveal my motivation for this thread, which is a serious pet peeve of mine. I believe PCGS is excellent when it comes to grading U.S. coins and mint state Canadian coins, but I believe PCGS does not have the slightest clue on how to grade circulated Canadian coins. I found this coin on ebay last night (March 9), in a PCGS holder and was flabbergasted on what they graded it at...see pic below. There is no way this coin deserves a grade as high as it got from PCGS. I consistently see circulated Canadian coins in PCGS slabs that are vastly overgraded, and am wondering why this is...what gives? Does anybody else think PCGS vastly overgrades circulated Canadian coins?  |

Wow! Thats a curve ball you threw us right there!! Great example to show. How can this be possible? Grading coins wether US/CAD or world coins has a standard. An extra fine example should be extra fine regardless of the third party company. How can a company make a mistake on a VG8 to a XF40?
Speechless. Although I have seen NGC grade similar....

But...but...but...the EXPERT experts graded this one! How could a panel of three professionally trained, world class expert graders (and as the website says, they will assign specialist graders to the coin type) - the best of the best - be wrong?  I've got it...mass hallucination  Buy the coin, not the holder/label/reputation. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

By examining the case, does it look like it had been tampered with? My personal opinion is that someone replaced the coin with a different one.

Undoubtedly overgraded. PCGS might call that one F-12 at best. Must have been beer-o'clock when that one was graded (to err is human, after all).
I imagine if you bought that PCGS XF-40, you would have a pretty good case of getting your money back from the PCGS grade guarantee...
