Again, wear on the crown and the tops of the cornucopia don't make AU. I'd say XF
Yep, looks like tape marks to me as well.
Here is the CCF site that I mentioned: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/ It will help you with grading and there will be 5 cent folks to help...
As said above, some of the early Vickies have some value once above F or VF. You would need to give folks an idea of what the grades are. If you...
It's another of the RCM's 'granny bait" pile of non-numismatic stuff. I would estimate that you can buy nearly 90% of the RCM's NCLT 5 years down...
I think it would make XF-40, but no higher .. the wear on the crown is way too much to be more than 40.
Almost exclusively raw, but it's getting harder to find good stuff. It seems that many many people have been duped into thinking that you have to...
Well, since others have given it a try, I'll try it, but it may be far off because the coin is not in-hand. You can't tell if there are rubs or...
It's nearly impossible to grade something off a computer screen once it gets above 60. I wouldn't even hazard a guess.
You may want to contact Daniel, just up the road from Toronto, who may have info on some of the things that you visualize for your collection. He...
This is a thread from another coin site that starts out with a few obvious fakes, due to the wrong Monarch being on the coin. It then goes into a...
While trying to clean up/straighten up my computer home page, I came across this reference site that others may be able to use. I don't remember...
I'll get in touch and have him stop in again. He never is or was much for "posting boards/sites" because so many non-believers/complainers would...
I had mentioned Mike M as the single person who attached and defeated the counterfeiters for Canadian coinage, but he still watches and reports...
Mike Marshal, as I mentioned before, put a halt to Canadian coinage counterfeiters listing stuff. He was then contacted by the US House of...
A Canadian collector was able to make inroads and stop individual sellers by going through Paypal, which in turn stopped it through Ebay. The...
No, there was just P1 & 2 in what I posted. A later edition of the reference ""Unusual World Coins" by Cuhaj & Michael, has more pages of other...
These are from an old "Unusual Coins" reference that I have. I know the prices are not acurate, but it lists lots of "Model xx" coins[ATTACH]...
I'll go with NNC and ACG as the worst .. they are both most noted as being the furtherest from the mark.
Yes, the red felt was full of a chemical that toned all of them. There are some of the coins in those holders that you can't get the red felt off...
Separate names with a comma.
