westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 04:53 am Should it be graded ? Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 05:59 am That's a nice coin! Obverse is a VF30 but the reverse is the show stopper. I'd put the reverse at EF-40, possibly 45 but the important thing is that it's a very solid strike. That's rare in the 1858 20c...there's almost always significant weakness in the date and the "N" in CENTS. I have four of those and only one of them is as well struck as that one. It's the common variety - I don't see any of the "blundered Is" - but who cares! Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 07:30 am If you are keeping it, don't get it graded ... anyone can see that it's a nice coin. Most people use the rule of thumb that, unless you can sell the coin for $200, it's not worth getting graded because of the costs involved. If graded by ICCS, then I'd drop the "sell" price down to $150, since their TPG costs are lower. It's great now it is ... leave it. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 09:45 am EF40 sounds right to me. First pic kind of looks like cleaning on the reverse? But second photo of the reverse I'm not seeing the hairline scratches so maybe not. Report this Post to the Staff

westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 3:15 pm Is this a re stamped 5? Report this Post to the Staff

westy00 Valued Member Canada 340 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 3:18 pm and this bow mixed with the beads. Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 4:28 pm Yes, looks like the RE 5. Chunky with the bulge on the top left. The leaf looks like a die break. The top of the crown is 'normal' for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
