Literally just started error hunting my Canadian coins I have sorted. Doing my 2nd coin from 1940 to 1960 and find this little gem.
Pretty sure I am right on this one, but I am new. Grading of the coin and possible cleaning, not cleaning advise is welcome.
Any rough guess on value as well if you have an idea.

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Cheers

During the war the mint used the dies well past their retirement date so it is not uncommon to find cracks, especially in that area.
Lots of wear so I would say VF20
