Can you Help me grade I'm not good with Darkside or Grey.
The 5 Mark's Toning looks great in person so much better than scan.
Also can anyone tell me what they book for?
Thanks in advance, hope you enjoy the coin pics.

    The 1858 Canadian large cent looks like it is scratched thru the N of ONE. Grade is F-VF, Trends $125-$175 Canadian

    The 5 mark looks VF-EF to me, I don't have my Krause handy to help with value

    My guesses are:

    On the 5 Mark, I would put it around VF-35 though it looks harshly cleaned to me.

    On the 1 Cent, I would say its around EF-45. I like this one, looks original.

    As Gene said, the Canadian is F-15 by Canadian Standards. I have the Charlton Grading Guide and it is not quite a VF.

    I'd pretty much agree with Gene, F+ and VF+.
    A Charlton is the big gap in my references.
