1891 Canada large cent

[KEN66]

I purchased this coin in a auction. I believe its a SD SL but don't know what the obverse is 1-2-3. The T in gratia has long tips. Also all the i have serfs My camera won't pick that up.What would the grade be? Thanks for any help.

It's a SL/SD Obv 3. The creased chin will tell a 2 or 3 from a 1. Then look at the E's and the Obv 3 will have the long vertical crosshatch inside. Yours does not have the R/P'd or longer arms on the T, like some of the scarcer regular LL/LD ones have; they are normal. Nice coin.

Thanks for responding. What would you grade it? Can it be a double die? I can that some of the letters have serifs.

I'd say XF40+ with some environmental damage (start of green on the bust and dark spot on the Rev.) In my old Trends, it shows $200 Cdn, but you couldn't sell it for that.

Thank you for all your help. I paid $20.00 for the coin.
