Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 07:34 am I'd have to guess the person that got hit for him, or the person they bought it from cleaned this coin, looks far to clean and no build up of any kind in the coin. Which is unfortunate if he ever did want to sell it. I imagine he's the kind of guy to keep it in his wallet on his health card even after I tell him this lol. Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 07:49 am It might have been cleaned at some point, not uncommon for coins this old that can have passed through the hands of a number of collectors. It is not a big problem, for coins this old general appearance is more important than whether it has been cleaned at some point in time. It is a far worse problem that your friend keeps it in his wallet, where this thin and fragile coin may suffer irreparable damage. Edited by erafjel 08/17/2021 07:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 09:04 am It looks pretty dinged up as it is, what do you think this would be worth in CAD? Mayb if it's worth something and I tell him it will get damaged in his wallet he will take it out and maybe put it in a 2×2 or something. He isn't really interested in coins but knows I am so he shower me. He's into model ships lol. Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 10:01 am Something like 20-40 CAD seems reasonable, maybe even more on a good day. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 10:40 am Ya doubt that's enough for him to take it out lol. Report this Post to the Staff
