Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 11:11 am This is not my usual jam but it's an attractive coin - I quite like the light (and seemingly original?) toning overtop of the frost. I'm curious to know where you all think it lands grade-wise? Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 12:06 pm Unfortunately I don't actually have it in hand - contemplating an offer. I realize the plastic makes a precise assignment impossible. My take is that it's mint state, likely at least 63 and maybe higher yet. But, like I say, George V is not my usual hunting grounds - I look for the pearls in the band of his crown - particularly the two to the left of centre - and if they're okay I get excited. But I realize that's not the most sophisticated view ever! Eyelid, hair, rims and lettering (mostly) appear undisturbed.... Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 1:13 pm MS63 Fields are way to busy on such a small coin for a higher grade. The larger the coin the more bag marks etc. are expected. You are right to look at the jewels on the Ermine band of the crown, on a mintstate coin the clearer the jewels the more well struck the coin. But quality of strike is only one part of grading criteria. On circulated coins these jewels are the first point of wear on the Metcalfe portrait.

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 10:24 pm DBM...I don't know about that. Pictured is greatly magnified too. I say minimum ms64. Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 05:44 am I'm toggling between those two views. I see some very minor dings, particularly in the letterings, that take it down for me - maybe even to 62. But, in spite of the photographic issue, the lustre looks splendid and makes me think I'm looking at a 64+. Maybe I should just buy the stupid thing.... Report this Post to the Staff
