TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 08/31/2020 08:51 am Would either grade it as MS? They should. This coin has no real wear that I can see so logically it would have to be MS grade. ICCS is especially hard on NL coins, but I think this one should get an MS-60+ designation. ShaftA9a - What you think is wear on the reverse crown is just a weak strike on that side. The first wear your would normally see on this coin would be on the Obverse: on the laurels and wraparound braid in the rear bun on the queens head, where there is no wear at all. There is no wear on this coin. It has a few little marks, but also has much doubling and a beautiful rainbow toning. The E in CENT has been very heavily doubled and the other doublings make this coin very attractive and a keeper for sure. Nice coin. Thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff

I would like to add this, strictly MhO: the original underlying N's and E's in OnE and CENT appear to be much smaller than the added re-punches over them. and, if the date was / is MD, would it not be on all 4 numbers? the offset on the 8 and 3 is pretty large and solid. am I looking at this right?

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 1:48 pm Isn't that some wear on the right side of the crown? Maybe also in the hair at the back of Victoria's head? Aside from that, agreed that this is a beautiful coin.... Report this Post to the Staff

47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 11:22 am Thank you guys. good input. Now the question is: ICCS or CCCS? Shipping to PCGS is a bit cumbersome.But? Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 11:42 am I've been told (by people who would know) to avoid ICCS for copper in particular. Particularly as regards red/brown calls, they are not all that accurate. PCGS - it has to be worth it given the scarcity of the coin. If the coin is worth $40 USD then there's not much point going there as it's going to cost $65 USD to get graded. Report this Post to the Staff
