malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 01:19 am I was hoping to get a grade on this coin please. I am not certain how to grade once the coin has darkened this way and also do not have any other examples to compare to. Sorry if the pics are not the greatest, I am not the most steady of hands tonight. thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 05:29 am Black zinc coins are always tricky to grade - I always tend to severely undergrade them in hand, simply because they look ugly. Nevertheless, this one seems to be devoid of serious corrosion - there's just one little spot in the beading next to the lower tip of the lion's tail that I'm worried about. I'd call it gVF - make it an American EF. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 12:02 pm I seldom see these zinc issues in such nice shape. EF looks like a reasonable grade. And it's a lower mintage coin for the series. My Krause gives $10 in VF and $18 in EF. Report this Post to the Staff
