1918 is a common date isn't it?

Grade is VF-30, just shy of EF-40 and Canadian grading doesn't use VF-35. Possibly cleaned.

Trends prices in problem-free condition are $15 for VF-20 and $40 in EF-40.

It is a common date, but the condition is slightly better than average circulated condition for this issue.

Don't have coin in hand.

I grade it $20

looks better than what is usually seen. Had it not been enhanced with a dip, $25-30.

CoinKat,
What are your reasons to say it might have been dipped.
Usually one can see it when coin in hand. But on a picture?
Have tried to think around that way, but can not say one way or another.

My Reasons?

The unnatural brightness combined with the whiteness of a coin that saw circulation. Had the coin not been dipped the pattern of wear on the coin, especially the high points, would show a variation in color from wear.

It is still a market acceptable coin- and a reasonable circulated example that does not appear to be obvious hairlining or anything that suggests it was cleaned.

The bigger issue with George V quarters is understanding and appreciating the strike of the portrait. There is a difference between wear and the typical strike which is often not overly compelling.
