Let's play 'Guess the PCGS grade'. Canadian 50c

ajaan

Everyone who guesses a grade will be entered into a drawing for a CCCS certified Canadian coin. Only one entry per person. You don't have to guess correctly to be entered. Will pick a winner sometime after the Sabres game tonight. ***Giveaway CLOSED*** Winner in my last post. (Resplandor)

I submitted this coin to PCGS, 5-day submission w/TruView, and it was entered into their system 3/11/08. Today I received the result. What grade, if any, do you think PCGS gave it? Since I'm too inept to set up a poll, I'll give these options:

VF20
VF25
VF30
VF35
XF40
XF45
AU50
no-grade, bodybagged for 'altered surfaces'

Note: Some info blocked out by me in the image. Phil did an excellent job imaging the coin. The image is exacly how it looks in person. Thanks Phil. I should add, it is an 1872H Canadian 50c Inv. A/V

I'll go with PCGS VF35.

I hope it's higher

I'll play and ajaan... if you sent me a pm with the grade, I have not opened it yet.


wonderful picture and if it looks that good in hand, I think minimum is 40 and 45 is possible. Terrific coin

I am going to have to give it a VF-45, The obverse is very clear all the lettering and device's are clear and legible, Right down to the designer's moniker. The reverse seem's to have a little more wear on the leave's. But i feel that the grade i chose is fair. Even if it is JMHO......

For the EF 40 and higher crowd on this coin - do you really see ICCS coins of this date or type graded anywhere near to a "40"? I just can not see it, but to each his or her own I suppose.
