okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 07:49 am VF-20 or 30 but heavily cleaned. Here's 2 sites that can help you get your grip on grading: http://www.saskatooncoinclub.ca/art...ns-ver2.html http://web.archive.org/web/20140220174534/http://www.coinoisseur.com/GradingCoins.html The 2nd link above works just fine on my machine and has the best grading scale for the last 25 years. Try putting this last one in your web browser, not clicking on the link. Just copy and paste. Edited by okiecoiner 04/04/2023 11:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 08:00 am Thanks Okiecoiner; VF20 was my first instinct but my lack of experience has me second guessing myself. As for cleaning, yeah I thought this and the 1862 NewBrunswick looked like they were cleaned with an old SOS pad.but there still value in both. Report this Post to the Staff
TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 1:03 pm VF 20, but not heavily cleaned imo. There's very little wear this coin. And there's still grime in the devices. The Reverse looks to be uncleaned, but the Obverse fields look like someone tried to wipe it clean at some point. I don't think a cleaning agent was used. Maybe just a cloth of some kind, wiped hard and repeated a little? Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 1:12 pm I'd put it at VF35, decent amount of detail on the OBV. Cleaned, quite a few hairlines both sides. Report this Post to the Staff
