The crown is weak/worn but the field are not too bad.The 2 leafs kept most of the details too. Do you think VF-30 would be fine considering weakness/circulation? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

tamarin Pillar of the Community Canada 576 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 08:50 am As has been said here many times, this series is notoriously hard to grade. Strikes are often weak. It's all about lustre. If the lustre is umimpaired it will be MS. This one looks - and looks can be deceptive - an easy VF with strong EF potential. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 09:30 am Surprising luster for what looks at first glance to be a high VF coin. Strike issue, I think. Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 1:07 pm I'd be surprised and disappointed if this came back from grading at anything less then EF40. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 1:23 pm Looks like lots of lustre. EF40 at least. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/03/2020 1:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Montgomery Valued Member Canada 429 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 7:46 pm Yes it has a lot of lustre but not full. Just to complicated here's a different one. The details on the crown and the obv is better but lustre is almost gone less between letters. The field got more marks too. The general eye appeal of the 1930 is less compare to the 1923. The 1923 have more lustre and field are better. The reverse of the 1923 is better too then the 1930. Leafs are more strong on the 1923. It's the king in general who add challenge and let me think weak strike may be involve on the king. Very comfusing. Report this Post to the Staff
