Good morning. Today I bought this little coin. It seems quite in a good shape. Is it a semi key date?
I still have troubles in grading coins: could you please tell me what you think about it? How much should have I paid for it? I don't know if I did good or not. Thank you
Pictures are from scanner.

Better pictures: taken with camera. Previous pictures were scans, and the coin was in its plastic holder. Thank you!

IMO about EF40, maybe 50 but has rim issues...
trends at about CAN $150 ( realistic price probably less than 100)

Yup... I agree with HH, EF-40 for me.

It is somewhat, a semi-key, just because of it's low mintage.

My guess is EF-45 with rim damage.
