khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 1:05 pm Hi, another coin from the collection I inherited, am trying to sort out. Details look very sharp, but I see signs of wear on the braid of hair below the ear, the cheek, and the neck. I assume the picture here (https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coin...cents-1886&) would be considered a perfect coin. Any chance this would grade an MS-60? If so, it would definitely be worth grading and slabbing. Thoughts? (Sorry, the pictures aren't as sharp as the real coin, I can't seem to get anything better.)

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 1:17 pm Pretty hard to grade from those pictures, even hard to tell which variety it is, but by your own admission there is wear on the coin which means it cannot grade MS60. Maybe AU but need sharper photos to say for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 4:29 pm @JimmyD - it's definitely a small 6. Report this Post to the Staff

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1618 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 12:21 am Might make AU-50. The first batch of photos suggest it's been polished. Report this Post to the Staff
khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 03:04 am Many thanks. @johnnysprawl Anything is possible, the coin has been sitting in a Whitman folder for at least 70 years. I'll hang on to it for a while; I have a lot of other Canadian but thought I would ask about this one. Edited by khunchang 04/26/2023 11:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
