I would say MS66 or 67 high echidna.

In the world of raw grades a CHU is appropriate. And a big hello to echidna as well...just joking joyce :biggrin:

The last one of these that I got from this seller graded at MS68 :yahoo:
Not so sure about this one though , it cost me less than $60 so I am happy with it anyway:ok:

That is very tough as it is a very clean coin with hardly any marks on it.I'm still
leaning towards MS67 on this one and I have 18 of these away for grading ATM
so I hope they lighten up a bit

I think that little bit of "Chatter" on the Queens Shoulder "Nailed" this coin and regrettably I am in agreement with the PCGS grade .

[stevo1962]

Actually I didn't notice the scratches on the reverse so maybe
they got it right

Whatever PCGS grade it's still a choice 1972 5c Trout

Thanks Mate.
I got a bit carried away with the lustre on this one and forgot to have a real good look at it before I sent it to be graded.
It is indeed a choice coin, But it didn't make the grade required to make it "Special" :dash1:
I have a better graded coin in my collection so I sent this one off to Numisbid on consignment.
All is good, This will probably sell for bugger all But a collector will be able to upgrade that beaten and abused circulated coin for this one :yahoo:
