CAmint Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 2:45 pm Hi, Please help me grade this token. I find it quite hard to appropriately grade colonial and pre-confederation tokens of Canada. In my opinion, the following token would grade EF-40. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 9:46 pm I think that might go AU-50 actually. Though I'm still a bit of a neophyte on the tokens and, as has been pointed out above, calling grade on them is challenging due to the fact that so many of them were made relatively crudely. Though that one looks quite good. Report this Post to the Staff
CAmint Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 07:02 am Many thanks for your comments. I believe these were well made but I do not know the manufacturer. Also, would this be the long right ribbon variety (NS-1D2)? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 07:40 am I think it's XF-40+ and, as above, might have a shot at AU on a lucky day. I think that it's been cleaned though. Edited by okiecoiner 11/03/2021 09:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
CAmint Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 07:53 am Thank you okiecoiner. Can you elaborate on why you think this coin has been cleaned? Is the color off? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 09:05 am Yes, the color looks off and somewhat washed out, but that could just be due to looking at a computer photo rather than in-hand. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
