Too much wear in the hair, chest, shield and robe. I'd say XF-45. It may have been a real weak strike to start with to have still some "red"
Here is a long NPR article about a small silver Viking coin unearthed in Hungary from over 1000 years ago. I thought it might interest a few of...
Vicky needs some more clothes on.

What a great, interesting thread! Thanks.
You made your money just on the Canadian coins
It's really not a "double or doubled" reverse. It looks like machine or mechanical doubling (MD) which is an error, not a variety. But still a...
I haven't done an archive search, but there was a nice book/report out on the Newf coins from someone who specializes in them. There's also a...
The mintages for most Newfoundland is usually miniscule. The problem is that there are probably only maybe 100 or less really earnest collectors....
Always check for if the T in Victoria has both feet serifs. There are 3 scarce varieties that are ID'd by that and have a nice value increase....
Why would they make a coin for the 38th anniversary of anything?
You are getting quite a few. I use 1 1/2X1 1/2's instead of 2X2's. Large cents fit in just fine with room to write and your small cents would be...

What you have is an 1882 "Obv 2/1 with heavy punch doubling". It's a combination of some machine doubling and hand repunches. We put it into the...
Don't pay attention to what CaC lists or includes or not cover. There were about as many Obv 1 dies as Obv 1a dies. And then you have the 1a/1...
Yes, it's an Obverse 1a strike. Between F-15 and VF-20, but cleaned.
The coin is heavily heavily worn and deeply corroded. I don't know what you mean by "the T's in the middle. There may be a slight rotation from...
Go to the top of this page, above your name or moniker and fill in the "search" space for what you want to know. In your case, a Canada cent and...
I agree that the small "doublings" are due to MD and pretty common on those coins. Do an archive search on here for more doubled faces and leaves.
Yes the "C" shows maybe repunch or die deterioration there, but, to me, the other anomalies look like MD.
Separate names with a comma.
