What would you grade this one from my photo attempt. I should have taken it out of the 2x2 I guess

    I guess I'm with farthing on this one, but just on the basis of wear alone.
    (...doesn't EF require all pearls on the crown to be well-defined?)

    Wayne, what's that chewy-looking stuff around the "CA" in "Canada" on
    the reverse? And that spot in front of George's nose?

    Nice helpful-looking website on this topic here.

    Best to all ~

    I would grade it VF but I do like the look so it could be an EF. Big help huhimage

    gVF and EF grades are both arguable

    Based on the wear, I'd grade it EF. There does appear to be some reverse rim dings and something in the field in front of George's nose that may cause me to net price it as a VF.
