Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 01:53 am Here's another interesting little morsel. I don't own this but I may be able to buy it in the next couple of weeks. Very curious to see what people think about the grade - my personal feeling is that it's up there; at least for this quite rare issue. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 02:17 am Iv never tried to grade this issue before. I think I would put it at around vf20. I want to say over dipped or old cleaning, the hit on the neck is distracting but over all a nice example if the price is right. Report this Post to the Staff

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 09:26 am IMO VF-30 NF2 variety. Last 8 looks doubled. Nice coin Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 02:13 am Thanks folks - agreed. An old cleaning/dipping hadn't occurred to me but I guess that's a possibility. Not a problematic one I would say. This sucker is quite rare...PCGS has only ever graded 4 of them: 30, 35, 40 and 50. This one is the 30 and I would say that's fairly accurate....perhaps a tad generous. I would have said 25 but it's possible that's splitting hairs. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 10:58 am I would go in at VF-30. KK Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 12:11 pm This looks like a VF30 grade to me and I see no evidence of a cleaning at all. It also has great eye appeal at least to my eyes, I really like it. Congrats!! Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/30/2022 10:28 pm After looking at a this series specifically I'll say change my grade to vf35 possibly EF slider. The wear on the hair is different then other examples I looked at, over all details wise I think I could go either way. Report this Post to the Staff
