Au 58, in the 2nd pic looks like rub on eye brow and cheek.

 

Well let me first say this for the years 1909 and 1910 there were two types....Maple leaves and Holly leaves. Mintage of 5,580,325 total combined types . In Au. It's a $50 by my 61st ed of Charlton.
I'm going with MS-60 $75. Value adjust for age of guide and tone value of 100.00+/- today's dollars

 

AU55

 

Drum roll........

 

Paid $30 and at the time I wasn't sure if I got a good deal or not. I just like the eye appeal.

 

Some of my favorite coins are toned AU.
Nice 5c

 

Thanks 4 the info Paddy, I checked NGC website which didn't even give a value for AU. It had XF-$12 and ms60-$60. I need to get a Krause book someday.

 

this site has more info but prices are in Canadian dollars

Act

actually ngc bases their values on Krause. Krause isn't much help either, since it shows only xf and unc prices for world coins excluding US ones of course. I hate it

 

I missed the GTG, but, on a coincidental note, a 1912 Canada 5 cent jumped out and mugged me from a dealer's case at a show this weekend. These things are not even close to anything I collect; in fact, they're kind of the opposite in some ways. I love big coins, and these are tiny! There's a good reason they were referred to as "fish scales," similarly to US 3 cent silvers. I also got mine for Krause price, which was pretty good, if you ask me.

You might get your wish soon. I'm considering having a few of my coins professionally imaged. This one might be among them.

 

@Paul M. Is it raw? Unc? Graded? Toned? I don't see many slabbed Canada coins. Mostly large cents when I do. Admittedly I have a small collection of silver 5cents through half dollars.........
I'm with you on the big coins man, I just started appreciating foreign coins about a year ago

 

Raw, AU58 (IMO), darkly toned (album toning). I am considering getting it slabbed.
