    There are a few breaks in front of Georgius lips that say, it is at least wiped. That is MS details at best.

    Canadian grading is pretty strict. I don't see any evidence of luster on the portrait side. Not sure about the other. I'd say EF details, harshly cleaned. Maybe an increment better by American standards.

    Looks XF40 to me. Luster seems missing. gunk in corner of letters.

    The photos, especially the Obv, are not clear enough to see. It looks like some wear in Geo's hair and on the flanks of psuedo-animals on the Rev. I think XF at best, maybe VF-30

    Definitely some wear on high spots and more...less than AU and likely less than EF, in VF range...hard to see/tell anything else.

    Several hundred years ago or so I made the same mistake, I learned very quickly from my folks that it was an absolute no-no. The cleaning alone brings the value down, but it shows well. Thanks for the show-n-tell, live and learn right. Good luck.

    I’d say XF details . Too much wear to grade higher and it’s been harshly cleaned if I’m seeing it correctly . Need better pics to really tell as bad pics can be deceiving !

    agree with above. Nice cleaned coin. Now you know not to even wipe them. Soak in distilled water and some of the dark area in Canada 1946 may come off.
