Steve has kindly posted a few Australian Coins to give us a Crack at testing our grading skills Via images :good:
The same grading criteria applies to foreign coins as well.
Have a try grading this one, I will post the PCGS grade this arvo :ok:

Me too, I have a couple of Canadian Silver Dollars in ICCS Flips I have sent to PCGS for "Crossover" that I am awaiting results on.
The Toning on these coin types can be rather nice :)
Very nice Trout :good: , I'm hopeless at grading so I'll skip that part, but you've gotta love a coin with a unicorn on it eh!!!

I support that though not surprised if the PL pushed it up to 67 as it is utterly beautiful

You could be right. The funny thing about Canadian 50c and $1 of the late 1950's is it's a LOT harder to get a high MS designation than PL.
The grade on this is PL67, Well done Guys :good:

I am thinking that the RCM were using Chrome dies way before we did, That is why 99% of the 50c in this era are PL and not MS.
Great Dies= great strike and fields :yahoo:
