My initial thought was AU.
But then I amended that thought by adding "by American grading standards".
Canadian standards tend to be a bit tougher.
So I would probably expect an XF from them.

Well done.
I wouldn't have known the problem.
But since you pointed it out, I vaguely remember seeing serial numbers in that range being something "different".

Neither.
That's how they were issued, 12-sided edge.

I suggest that you don't use the "PCGS guide price" as your guide.
The Greysheet is a much more accurate guide to prices.
It's pricy but you don't need a monthly subscription.
I get it 4 times a year but 1 or 2 a year is plenty good.

And then there is always spending the time searching auction results.
eBay is the easiest but the other auction houses are more accurate as long as you take into account their buyer's premium.

I use the Greysheet for pricing.
That coin in AU-50 is listed at $140.
At AU-50 I would pay $168 (20% above Greysheet).

But as a DETAILS coin I would cut that in half.
My final value would thus be $86.

If I worked out the price based on an AU-58 grade, then my final value would be $120.

Halfway between would make $99 reasonable.

Now it's up to you.

Probably stored in one of those old single-sided coin folders.
Reverse protected but the obverse exposed to the environment.

For the moment I think I'm okay.

I have two 1811 ½¢ slabbed by PCGS.
One is without a die crack; the other is a 4-star cud.
I may look for one with a pre-cud die crack.
The 2-star cud variety is too expensive.

Let's see if I can make a reasonable estimate.
Serial Number: 03141879

Sticking to Federal Reserve Notes (green seal).
My Estimate: 1 chance in 99,999,999.

Actually slightly better than that.
Maybe 1 chance in 99,999,900.

I think PCGS is looking for new sources of income.
If people want a group of coins/medals/etc. slabbed, PCGS will do it -- for a price.

It's a nice-looking Cohen 1 (C-1), Rarity-1.
The give-away is that it's the only stemless variety in 1906.

That's the sort of coin I would accept ONLY if in a PCGS or NGC slab.
