What do you think to this? Any contact marks you can see are as light as possibly can be, and the coin has wonderful lustre under patches of toning. I'm sending it to NGC.   |

I'll say AU-58 (Sheldon).

GEF British grading .
Along with 1902 & 1910 quite a common date .
Would not worry about grading it .
The grading costs and postage
would likely be equal to the value
of the coin .

I have submitted it actually because in hand it looks MS63. If it comes back AU58, so be it :)

gEF/AU - Light rubbing on hair directly above his ear
Some light wear spots on the crown puffy bit (I forgot what you call it, you know the cushion thing in between the coronet ring). The bit below the orb is faint.
Otherwise a great coin, nice lustre and some toning on it. These AU coins can be deceiving as they look so nice and many can pass them as MS.
Please don't send it to NGC and get it slabbed. I have no idea why this American fad is catching on in our corner of the world (British Commonwealth).

I'm not seeing the wear so I'll go MS-62.

TobyJ curious to know why your TPG of choice was NGC? I had it at MS63 so I don't disagree, but NGC tends to not be popular here in the great white north for Canadian coins. |

NGC are the best TPG in my opinion, I've used them for years now. I also think not only is their grading very accurate, their slabs are pretty and their customer service is exemplory. |

I must agree with others regarding grading. If the coin is worth less than $50 keep it in the case and take well care of it. Don't clean or mess with it. Grading services are usually $20. to $30. so it is better to sell it at auction which will net you more money.
