That coin is NSF far leaves. Worth less than a buck.

Thanks DBM. I'm confused if this is the rare or common type. You said "it's rare only if it is found with an NSF obverse." Does that make this one the rare variety?

Typo, sorry.
The coin in your pics is the common NSF far leaves variety.

Can't really give an accurate grade from those pics, but it may be uncirculated and maybe trails on the reverse(?). Tough to tell for certain, but it looks like the NSF far leaf variety. Check here to be certain:

In the future, best to make a new thread instead of reviving a very old one.

Hard to tell from those pictures, but from what I can see, I would say it is a NSF Far Leaf.
No way of telling grade, but if it is in MS condition, it may be worth a couple of dollars.

Considering where found, I would assume this is a common variety, but just want to be sure. I know next to nothing about Canadian coins though I do have a few.
