Grading opinions on Newfoundland 5 cent silver

Post by StephenC » Fri Feb 14, 2025 9:56 pm

Hello -
I would like some opinions on the grade of this coin. I have looked at the photos on this website, and I am thinking AU50 or XF45. Please give me your thoughts.

Too much wear in the hair for AU. I think XF and the Newf Reverses were always struck softly or weak from what I heard

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that the hair detail was a little low, but that might be due to striking. The ear is sharper than I would expect for an XF, so that was why I thought it might be a little higher.

It came back from PCGS as XF45 - right about where I thought it would be.
