Hiho, I agree, it's a very nice VF-35, but I feel if we said XF 40 that there would be alot of Canadians disagreeing. But it is knocking on the door of an XF coin.
Really, I don't mind him posting pictures, after all, it gives me a better idea of what, decent coins look like (which I have very few of). Anyways, the consensus is around grade 35-40, which, for a penny that old, is not bad at all! My main question RIGHT NOW is, that 1898.... I know the pictures are not clear, and there looks to be a bit of crud of somekind on there, but a grade on that one would be nice too. Thank you to everyone who has given their input on the penny... I never knew it was as nice as that!
I would say maybe VG or F12? I really am not sure. It gets real blurry when I look at the full size. Sorry, I can't tell you anymore.
Yeah, not the best picture I've ever taken... Once I get the camera fixed, I might be able to get a better picture of it (among other things...).
