okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 07:49 am Coin looks heavily buffed or cleaned and an odd color. If the wear in the hair is actual wear and not machine done, I'll say F-15 Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 01:10 am The other wear indicators are not there, especially on the high points of the leaf and the main stem. Okie, do you know how hard it is to wear down a small cent to F grade? That coin is easily a VF to EF grade, and my bet is that it was not fully struck when minted.

coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 08:42 am I'd say VF 20/30 and some doubling on the date as well it seems. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/29/2021 3:01 pm Okie - a good benchmark for VG to VF grades on this series can be established simply by searching for auction sales of the 1955NSF.
