Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 10:54 pm It's gorgeous - I don't know this series, specifically that portrait, well enough to say precisely but it's certainly well into the AU range. A little hard to tell about mint frost from the photo but there's a nice halo in the lettering... Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 08:20 am There appears to be some indication of wear in the hair, but the leaf tips look to have no wear at all. Could be a weak strike on the Obverse, but I think that a TPG would probably give it an AU. Just remember that a TPG grader spends less than 15 secs per coin to give the grade, most of it on the Obverse Report this Post to the Staff
Levaril Valued Member Canada 289 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 11:25 am Here Is an example for you graded AU by PCGS. I would guess a better strike than yours but gives you something to compare to. The hair on yours actually looks like it could be as low as EF for wear but I think it's actually a weak strike AU with a small amount of wear. Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 4:51 pm I think it looks like a textbook ICCS au55, but I'm not as confident with this series as I am with others. Report this Post to the Staff
