canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 07:47 am So this one I showed to a couple different guys at the AGM this past fall in Ottawa. Neither thought it was cleaned but one thought it may have been rubbed. Does "rubbing" detract from grade and value the same as cleaning ? Also can anyone suggest a good resource for provincial coins, particularly errors and varieties. A have a number of provincial coin's that like this one have a few things going on. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 09:41 am I think it's crappy lighting that's making them look Gray. Here's a side by side that I hope is a bit better. I'm kinda struggling with lighting techniques. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 11:24 am There's definitely surface damage from a very heavy cleaning, more on the Reverse, but the Obv does as well. If it was "rubbed" it was rubbed with something close to sandpaper, and not 100 grit or more. It has a couple nice die cracks at the R and A and all the way through NEW. The die wouldn't have lasted much longer. Report this Post to the Staff
canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 11:49 am I appreciate the feedback. Sadly nothing I can do about previous cleaning but still happy to have them in my collection. I wasn't sure of the the R because under the scope you can definitely see a split serif at the bottom of it so I was thinking repunched. There is also something with the top of the "I" in Brunswick.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/04/2023 12:38 pm The I in Brunswick is a die chip off the top of the I due to Die Deterioration. The R is all due to a die crack Edited by okiecoiner 04/04/2023 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
