1865 Canada- New Foundland, KM#4 , .925 silver, weight 4.7127g. or .1404 oz. 20 cents grade/value VG-8-$11.00 F-12-$20.00 VF-20-$60.00 XF-40-$150.00 MS-60-$950.00 not sure what your coin grades ? F-VF. maybe VF-20 ? $60.00 other Canadian coin experts can tell you what they think the grade is... ? cool coin by the way.
Yah, it's always quite difficult to grade coins from photos, but yoda is probably in the ballpark with VF20 (could be VF30 or even XF40 => but would need to see it in-hand) => here are a couple of VF30 Vickies to compare your coin against ... ... shame about the fingerprint, eh? (*sigh*)
Yah JA => I absolutely love my Dominion of Canada collection, but I must admit that it is soooo much more satisfying being able to handle my ancient coins "in-hand" and not worry about fingerprints, etc ... => well, I guess there are definitely pluses to both types of coins (modern and ancient) ... man, I need to buy more coins!!
I don't worry about getting finger prints on my raw-raw "moderns". I'm very careful to handle them by the edges.
ahaha dude, that's the definition of worrying about getting fingerprints on your coins!! => I also handle mine by the edges "and" I have some sweet, soft gloves ... => oh, and that's not "my" fingerprint ... that's probably a greasy ol' fingerprint from 100 years ago (hey, maybe it's a famous print?) cheers, brothers
avi400 => that is a sweet Newfie coin (man, I love the odd-ball denominations .... "20" cents ... that's awesome, eh?) => amazingly, there were only 100,000 1865 Newfie Twenty Cent Pieces minted, yet that coin is probably only worth $50-$100 Canadian (I know eh? ... if it was a US coin, it'd probably be worth $5000) ... hey, maybe one day the demand will increase for the sweet ol' Newfie coins and that coin's price will sky-rocket!! (I hope so => I have the entire Newfie Twenty Cent set!!) ..... oh, and just for the record, collecting Newfs is sooooo satisfying because they are very inexpensive, plus the sets are relatively small and easy to collect and "finish" ... there are only 24 coins in that set (ummm, sure there are always numerous specialized variations, but I'm merely talking the different minted examples) => congrats on a very cool coin that can only go up in value (it's a diamond in the rough)
