I'd say F-12 with reverse damage. Some damage will turn a very nice coin into a filler. IE, my 1925 nickel is VF or maybe better (still has luster) but I only paid $30 for it (deep gouges on either side of the effigy). IMHO your 1870's damage detracts from the coin's eye-appeal yet I'd rather have i...

Hi Tony,

I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be looking at.
Please explain.

Cheers

Are you kidding me? A bank?!? EXTREMELY DISTURBING: IMF Goes Directly After Bank Depositor Money Start stacking my friend. FWIW Ag is historically undervalued against Au ... it's best to have both. BTW, you should consider PMs to be a hedge against inflation or economic collapse, not as an investmen...

Need to see the obverse.

I don't think you have to pay any, although you may have to cough up the PST (on a declared value such as what you're suggesting) depending on what prov. you're in.

Nevertheless, check out this link, it might be of some help: coincommunity.com forum

Clipped?

Yes. Again, you can clearly see the Blakesley effect (weak strike) at the opposite rim

Nice coin. How is it I've never found one of these?


Cheers

Cool !!! You got a whole set.

Can I haz one?

Another silver 1867-1967 medallion up for bid on ebay.

Take a look. This one comes with the vinyl wallet it was presented with.

Avoid wrapping your coins in paper. Paper contains acids and other harmful chemicals. To give you an example; some time ago and for whatever reason, I had a Dutch 1 G and 2 1/2 G, and a German 5 DM coin (all silver alloy) wrapped up in Kleenex and when I unwrapped them after a few years they were co...

I'm assuming this one.

Very similar to one found on this website; perhaps even from the same batch of planchets: 1 cent 1932 - Flaw planchet above DEI (Image #1588) A word of warning to overly curious collectors like myself... Don't probe, pick at, or rub these things! The date had a bit of bright green verdigris in the 9...

An identical coin to mine (identical in its errors) can be found posted a couple weeks ago here: A few Nickel questions - canadiancoppercoins.com

Scroll down to F ... same-same. Quite a coincidence that these two make an appearance within days of each other.


Cheers

To be honest, I see it as green too.

So, if the dirt behind the effigy is just that -- up me to an EF.


Cheers
