johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 5:14 pm Looks EF-40 due to the wear on the hair. So yes, I'd say you got a deal! Report this Post to the Staff

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 5:16 pm Looks like you did well. I would go EF, probably old cleaning, unless hairline are on the plastic. Probably $200 cad +/-$50. Good pickup for price Report this Post to the Staff

Bond632 Valued Member Canada 98 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 1:25 pm Can someone explain to me why this coin wouldn't be graded as almost uncirculated? Are points being deducted for the cleaning? Wouldn't the cleaning itself put the coin into the details category, thereby eliminating a number grade altogether? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5586 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 4:15 pm Wear in the hair and leaves. I think that it's AU or almost there, but has been dipped, and not recently. Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 8:32 pm The hair to the right of the wreath has been worn down so that the individual hairline are no longer visible. Also, the hair to the left of the wreath is no longer sharp. Finally, the braid below the ear is considerably worn. All of these reasons, IMHO, keep it from being any higher than EF-40.
