DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 12:28 pm F12 Possible lamination on the obverse really detracts from eye appeal "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 1:05 pm F12-15, but the Obverse damage adversely affects the coin. I think that it's a gouge-type damage, but I'd have some damage, too, if I was 140+ years old. Edited by okiecoiner 12/12/2023 3:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Levaril Valued Member Canada 289 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 1:09 pm It's possible it's a lamination problem but feels just as likely something got hammered into it at some point and indented the obverse in spots. You can follow the regular but irregular line through the forehead, the hair and the bun and see potential indents on both sides of the bust. I'm going to go with F details for something long and perhaps narrow being hammered or pressed into it many years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1759 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 2:03 pm 25centpiece2 Well worn, well travelled wide 0 quarter. As okiecoiner states: "... the Obverse damage adversely affects the coin." Still, a coin I would welcome to my collection.

25centpiece2 New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 3:24 pm Thanks for the replies and welcomes. There is a lot going on with this one and I considered the lamination issue. I guess I will know more with it in-hand. Regardless, I like the look of this coin and it will fit my "working man's" 25 cent silver collection. I have taken a ten year break from collecting but with only four more coins to find( not including every error and variety), I am back into it. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
