littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 1:02 pm Nice coin. Better than EF, I would have to say AU also. Report this Post to the Staff
kitkat1858 Valued Member Canada 371 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 7:35 pm I'd go EF+ to be on the safe side, but it's hard to tell unless you're holding the coin in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

Cornet New Member Canada 15 Posts	Posted 08/25/2011 9:40 pm Thanks for all the input! I thought it would grade about AU. A family member got this as a birth gift in...1948. It's too bad that it floated around in their piggy bank for 45 years. If it hadn't, I'm sure the grade would be slightly higher. Having said that, I'm sure glad that it didn't buy a meal for the family! Report this Post to the Staff

west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 10:43 pm Still learning to grade, but wouldn't the wear on the jaw and neck put this at about EF45 ? Report this Post to the Staff

54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 11/12/2011 9:02 pm EXF and very lightly cleaned at one time.Story about getting as a birth gift in 1948 is highly questionable.All 1948 dollars were coined in December 1948 and distributed in early 49.This one HAS seen circulation!
