I have often experienced after having bought a coin on seeing images only, that I was very disappointed when I finally had the coin in hand. Very few times the surprise was pleasant, What is your opinion on this subject? CANADIAN and Can provincial coins only please? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 12:23 pm Geo 5th five cents. People just do not understand how hard it is to grade in hand let alone by an image! Report this Post to the Staff

I think that Newfie coins and Geo 5 cents also tough. Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 4:57 pm In Canadian series . George V Five Cent Nickels first , closely followed by George VI Five Cent Nickels . Both have strike issues . A third series that causes issues Edward VII silver coins dated 1902 1907 , the 1908 - 1910 Ottawa issues are generally much better strikes than the earlier London and Heaton coins . The grading companies are all over the road map on the above series . You could submit the same coin 4 times and get 8 different opinions ( sarc intended ) . Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 6:47 pm Great reply Pacificoin, in the George VI series I find it's much tougher to grade the 1937-42 five cent coins (many weak strikes). Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
