    Looks like it's been in a fire or something, but I don't think it's counterfeit.

    Yea, verily. It has a funky look to it. It looks like it's EF.

    I would need to see it in person to offer a conclusive thought from my perspective on originality, but from the picture, I am not encouraged. The grade is in the high end VF or perhaps low end EF RANGE.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Some of the old "Everett Hoard" pieces I bought locally, which had been stored in an attic here for fifty-odd hot summers, some in old envelopes, sort of had that look, and I had little doubt of their originality.

    it's hard to say...but I wouldn't be surprised if it is original.

    Nice Canadian large cent! Oops.... image

    I would give it VF35. It's just a hair shy of EF IMO. Positive points for the toning though. I wouldn't feel bad for spending EF money on it...

    I don't believe that I've ever seen that deep of brown toning on a silver coin before. Curious as to the type of holder it was stored in. I think it might get an EF grade from the TPGs (because the fields look mark free) but wouldn't be surpised with VF30.

    Honestly, it looks like a decent VF-EF, but the color doesn't do it for me and I like toned coins....
