    Hello again,

    Sorting through the most recent group of coins I got before I moved back to school...found this beauty:

    Wonder if you had any thoughts on grade? It's definitely got some circulation marks...but I think it has to be at least AU50. Welcome any opinions, though...

    I have a site I reference for Canadian coin grading
    GradingCoins canadian.htm

    I would in my opinion grade this at between VF-40-and VF30

    There is wear on the hair around the ear which would help me with this grade. Check out the site pics for help

    Looks like it could be a contemporary counterfeit to me. For example, the top of the crown looks lopsided. Also, the leaves are missing a lot of detail for such a high grade, although that could be the lighting.
