wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 1:11 pm I'm deciding on one Vicky, and it's between this one and the 1894 I posted. Welcome options on both grade and choice! Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 2:42 pm It's hard to tell whether there's any mint frost but, if there is, then I would think that's AU 53 or 55 even...all segments of the braid are there, the eye is in terrific shape and there's a full split in most of the laurel leaves. A little wear on the high points but that's it. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9894 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 2:48 pm We all have access to ebay. It's in a CCCS holder correctly graded at AU50. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 3:08 pm Thx DBM for stating the obvious. The purpose here is to gain impartial opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9894 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 3:23 pm What is your opinion? That's the only one that counts. Accurately grading a coin from less than great pics taken through all those layers of plastic is asking a little much. The TPGs had the advantage of seeing the coin in hand. You should have just started off with a link to the coins and asking if we agree. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 3:42 pm Again, your opinion. The photos are all any potential buyer has to go by. Return policies provide some security and reduce the risk associated with buying a coin unseen. I value the various opinions as to grade offered on this forum, even yours.
