Good deal for the condition. Will you post better pics once you get it?

 

Nice coin!

 

My photography "skills" are such that I doubt I could take a better picture!

 

My eyeball grade for this is a nice VF and it may appear better when I get it in hand.
Anyone else care to opine on the grade?

 

Based on these pics I'd agree with high VF to borderline XF, going by strict Canadian grading standards. Most non-specialized collectors would probably view it as XF though.

 

I'll have to wait until I get the coin in hand to check the luster.
If it shows good luster I'd bump my grade up to an XF.

 

I agree, I bet this will have a nice surface and awesome detail when Mr. Geezer gets it in hand. I think it'll be closer to XF when he get's it in the mail.

 

Got it yesterday.
Good detail, still some luster but obverse rim ding knocks it (IMO) to XF40.
All-in-all, a good deal for the price ($19.95).
