Will this coin be able to be graded or will it be designated damaged?

    Asking out of ignorance about Canadian coins, but why slab it? It's a relatively modern piece, and Numista reports a mintage of 89 million.

    Grading it would be a waste of money. Unless the actual value (not what it lists , trends or books for) is over $150 or so, the cost of the cert is too large a percentage of what the coin would ever be worth. Some people use $200 or more (the value that you could actually SELL it for). Your coin is worth 1 cent Canadian or 0.75cents US.

    It would have to come back MS64RD or better to be worth grading IMO. I don't think that coin is worth the fees.

    My opinion is that is post mint damage but then errors are not my forte by any stretch (I mean a brockage, off center, or an unpunched hole I get, but I still have homework to do when it comes to errors). I'd have to actually read my book on errors to know if that edge has a plausible in-mint way of being made.

    I am curious, is this a rare date/condition/variety? Are you working on a date set or a date run?

    The coin is in a ICCS holder MS 65 Red. I am building a George VI circulation type set.

    I would just try and find an example already slabbed.

    So the light irregularity at the top is just a fold in the plastic and not a nick? Regardless whether 64 or 65 red, it's still not worth certing.

    ICCS is spoken of well. It would probably be gradable then. Not realizing it was IN plastic, I mistook the plastic for damage.

    An ICCS Red is very seldom a PCGS red. ICCS uses a different standard for RED. I think it's 85%
