okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5357 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 07:38 am It's so blurry that I can't tell if it's a worn maple leaf of a dot. I'd say VF-20 and, if so, about $40 Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1066 Posts	Posted 08/19/2023 08:11 am I find these difficult under the best of circumstances. Nickel is so much harder than silver that it wears in a very different way. Still, considerable nicks and cuts on the obverse so I'll go with F15-VF20. Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1196 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 2:59 pm The maple leaf is larger but can also be found in many different positions even touching the seven at times. Years ago they were selling near and far maple leafs like the near and far 6, 1896 large cents. Cheer's Bill Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1196 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 3:16 pm Sorry, I should have offered an opinion on the original post also. First thing I'd like to welcome our new member. As for the grade I'd say VF-20 but a nice one for the this grade. So many of these coins from the thirties and forties were also used in vending machines and parking meters and most suffer from meter marks. Cheer's Bill Report this Post to the Staff
