OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 11:32 pm I am starting with this one for you fellow members to grade and value for me. This is one of my favorites because of the rainbow colors. I feel this coin would grade pretty high because I see no wear and no real marks. The yellow area on it look like glue or paste but it is not. Flat as can be. Would grade you you give it and why. Thanks for helping me learn to grade Canadian cents.

I agree, its in good shape, but you got some issues with carbon spots on the reverse, a nice 'ding' on the obverse underneath the 'I', and other 'white' spotting type issues on the observe as well. (Unsure what that is.) Now, I like toning, but I am concerned toning on a copper coin will eventually lead it to become a brown colour. Thats not a bad thing but Red brings in more of a premium. I personally much prefer a BU. Word of warning, I'm not much of a grader and have been proven wrong numerous times before, but I'm thinking this coin would only hit an AU50 and not any MS type grade. As such I am showing this coin may only be worth .25 cents I welcome other peoples opinion to see if I may be missing something with my critique. Report this Post to the Staff
OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 04/15/2009 12:19 pm Thanks for the comments Dollar. Everyhting you have commented on has been taken in as knowledge for me. I really like the toning also but like you, worry about my mint sets thats are toning. The cents are really beautiful but like you mentioned might turn brown. Any advise how to stop mint set coins from turning brown on you? Report this Post to the Staff
