Hi there, I would like to hear grade opinions but also if possible, why oyu give it that grade. And also, can you tell if this is large or small 9's? I have pictures to tell me the difference between the 2 but I dont see that big a difference. I guess I would need both varieties next to each other to see it myself.     |

This looks like the Hook 9's to me.

I thought hook 9's are a lot easier to spot? Maybe I have been doing this date wrong. lol

Hi Malissa, I would put the grade around VF30-35  Going by my Charest book, the date on this one looks more like "large 99" they picture--although it doesn't look exactly the same.  . The small 99 are definitely more "hooked" than these. |

They look like the Large "9s" to me, also I would agree with the grade of VF-35. |

hi everyone,
thanks for the grades. Here is my problem. I am aware that everyone here is somewhat better at grading than me. I tend to stick to exact grades.....vf20 or xf40. I don't know how to determine what's in between those. I would appreciate if you have some time explaining both how you came to the conclusion of VF35 (what are the identifying marks you used) so I can learn to see what you see,
and also how would I apply a value to something like this?
Charlton 2009 has a huge price jump between the 2 grades VF $40 XF $250 (that's for the lg 9's variety.)
I appreciate any education I can get from you

It's actually the small 99 variety and a grade of VF30 IMO. I know you are looking for clarification on the 1899 varieties. Email me if you want info on them as there are more than just 3.

I'm sure a lot of people would be interested.. why not start a new topic and tell us about them?

I'm in the middle of making a full out awesome NFLD thread but I'm unsure if I should post it in the World or Canada forums. I'll post it in the world for now as that gets more traffic but it can be moved as a mod sees fit.

Please put it in the Canadian forum where more collectors of Newfoundland coins are likely to look.
