  • Your pic looks a lot like the photo in my Charlton Canadian Coins. But it's listed the other way around - Small 5 over Large 5.
    GO AHEAD! I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU TO RATE ME A 1!

    Close - the photo in Charlton is from a higher grade coin, numbers are sharper.

    Smitty - nice find! What does the rest of the piece look like?

  • Yes, I agree it is a 5/5.
  • Yup, I'd say so.
  • For the grade, I would say VG8. Any other opinions?

    If you were a dealer selling it, it would be F15. If you were a dealer buying it, it would be G4.
