    could be the images-

    I am not sure it will grade based on the surfaces

    Would you care to elaborate on that response?
    The surfaces look just fine to me.

    IMO PCGS would not grade the coin due to corrosion/environmental damage. Look around 'Canada' on the obverse. I think the coin has AU wear.

    They have kind of an odd rough/textured look. Could just be the way it was photographed.

    I'd go with AU50-55

    I agree that it would be body-bagged by most TPG's due to heavy corrosion. Wear-wise, it's an AU but will never make it due to the surface.

    Corrosion looks possible based on the image

    Also, the surfaces in general look porous

    Based on the forgoing, it may not grade

    from the photos I'd be with the majority and say AU detail/ corrosion

    Appears to be to clean also. Probably just dipped in Acetone.
