I'm looking to find out if someone can help me with a grade and value on this coin. My most current book is about 10 years old.   Thanks, Karrlot |

my Charlton Standard Catalogue of 2009, 63rd Edition goes like this, for grades, mintage: 1,200,000, G4-$15.00, VG8-$30.00, F12-$55.00, VF20-$110.00, EF40-$175.00, AU50-$275.00. Using the Standard Grading Guide of Charlton/Willey, my guess would be VF-20. Nice coin. I am trying to locate a 2011 Catalogue.

I was wanting to fill some holes, so I went to a dealer and she let me look through a box of Canadian that she was going to send off to be melted. I had my list of what I had, so I was picking up anything that would fill holes. She sold me a bunch of coins for the silver spot, so I figure I paid about $.50-.75 for this. I didn't know it was a good date until I got home and looked it up.
I'm very happy with this!

Sounds like a great deal!. However I do have one question: Wouldn't it be illegal for your dealer to send off coins for melting? I thought this was against the law. It's the second time this week I hear talk of this so I'm terribly curious.

There is a law against Smelting Circulating coins in the U.S. More specifically our nickel and penny.
There is no law against smelting Pre-1965 U.S. silver coins, nor any foreign coins.
I see some heavy scratch marks in the cleaner areas indicating harsh cleaning there.

I saw those too in the scan, but didn't notice them when looking at the coin. The contrast in the scan is a lot sharper than the actual coin. In hand the dark isn't nearly as dark as the scan, it is not black, it is grey than black. It looks a lot more normal in hand. I thought maybe it was just wear.

Yes, it has been cleaned, but still, a very nice 'semi-key' date in just VG worth around $40.00..  |

I see VG-20 maybe even F-12
It is always difficult for me to settle on a final grade without actually having the coin in hand for a proper examination.

I rate it a VF - there is detail in the braid below the ear and also in her hair. Both of these traits in my book are indicators of VF condition.

It's a very nice pick-up for the price. Extremely desirable!

My guess is F-12 but it looks cleaned.
