Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 2:15 pm Hi Littlemoney, With all due respect, I have bought them for that price in similar grade. The last 1926 Far I paid $110.00 and it was a strong VG. No scratches. ICCS agreed. As stated, the coin may grade VG but with the numerous scratches the price would come down substantially. I think $100.00 is a fair price for a collector. I like to buy at shows where the deals are better. More compitition and table, hotel rooms, gas and other exepnses to pay. ebay prices on can be misleading. Check the completed items under advanced search to get a better idea. You can list a coin for book. That doesn't mean it will sell. Do you do shows? Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 2:26 pm Here's some examples: Good 1926 (far"6") Canada 5 Cent KM-29 sold for $74.20. 1926 Far "6" Canadian Nickel - KEY DATE! for $129.99. CANADA 1926 5 Cents 'Far 6' for $116.24. These are much nicer examples. Many "buy-it-now"s did not sell. Report this Post to the Staff
Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 2:32 pm One more thing to add. Since nickel is a physically hard substance grading can be somewhat generous. Coins in this series are 100% nickel. US coins for the similar period, Buffalo nickels, are 75% copper and 25% nickel. Weak striking can be common and super nice examples sell for a premium. Canada seems to have had better success with their minting process. Less die breaks and stronger details. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 2:29 pm I agree, F-12 grade. The reverse is in remarkable condition. I would suspect this coin was weakly struck in the first place, but now that it has lost all its lustre, the technical grade (Fine) prevails.
