cleaned coins

How is the value of a coin affected by cleaning? IE, how much, by percentage, has the value of a cleaned coin been lessened?

Grading help for 1883H Canadian 5 cents

I am requesting help grading this 1883H Canadian 5 cent coin. I'm pretty sure

Differentiating between a PL and uncirculated coin?

Can anyone describe to me how one would differentiate between an uncirculated coin from a bank roll, and the same coin from an uncirculated set that was in a Pliofilm set?

Re: 1998 Canadian Nickel Improperly Annealed Planchet

Rick, what is the weight of your coin, and also what is the thickness? I have one of these as well; it weighs 4.64 grams (normal), but it is slightly (10%) thinner than a normal 1998 5 cent piece. It has a copper look to it, not nickle. I feel that it could have missed the nickle plating step, excep...

Anyone care to confirm this as a 1929 high 1 cent?

Received this Canadian penny a few days ago as part of a small cent lot.
Anyone care to comment as to whether it is a high 9 variety?

Hope the photo loads OK.

Thanks.
