We will need full-coin pics of both sides. Seller's pics are fine as long as they are sharp.

Looking at a few letters on my 81 and this one there are a couple different things that caught my eye.
The I in DEI and Gratia are both a different I than my 81, and I'm not sure about the D's either but not much to go on with this picture we need a full picture or the obverse

I don't think you can really be sure from the ebay photos. Photographs can be very deceiving depending on the focus, lighting, etc. I can see where the N in CANADA could be a bit of damage hiding the serif to the right of the foot, but the N in REGINA (which you didn't show in the above photo) looks like a single serif N to me. |

VF20+ ... a very scarce coin. Trends about $450 Cdn in VF-20. There are people who have looked for decades and not found one. It will be an easy sell.

The title of the topic says nothing and there's no good pics that even identify what the coin is until 2/3 of the way down the page. Even the people that didn't give up on it before clicking gave up after looking 5 or 6 posts deep and still not knowing anything. This is why I've just started locking topics with no pics and leaving a note to start a new topic when pics are uploaded. |

It takes a little while to get the hang of good titles for new posts and taking and uploading photos. Sammeli only has 21 posts so far and is still a new member.
A better title for the post would be "Here is the 1881-H SSN Cent" That would catch more people's attention. If one of the moderators would rename the post for Sammeli, it would probably get more comments.
