Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 06:30 am A recent purchase - currently making its way here from one of my contacts in the US. Reverse image is not terrific but the obverse is pretty clear. Pleased with this one - thoughts on grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 1:44 pm I don't have it in hand yet so it's hard to comment on lustre/no lustre - the guy I purchased it from (who is terrific) says it's the former which would tend to support a grade above AU however I'm reserving judgment. Like all of you, I'm somewhere in between EF-40 and AU-58! Report this Post to the Staff
TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 2:04 pm Tough to assign a grade to this one. It is an excellent strike example. Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 08:34 am @TheDeductable - agreed - especially the reverse. I don't know about you but a sizeable minority, possibly a majority of the NFLD 20c have a weak spot centred on the "N" in Cents. I assume that's a strike or possibly convex/concave issue.
