1888 Newfoundland 5 cents - Obverse # 3
Hello
I would really appreciate some help with this coin
I think it has been cleaned and I would like a hand grading it.
I am thinking VF-20 to VF-40 ?
Not being the greatest at grading but I sure could use some help with the grading and value
Thank you in advance
All the be

Re: 1888 Newfoundland 5 cents - Obverse # 3
Such a shame - harshly cleaned. It looks whizzed.
Taking into account what I can see in your pictures, and looking at the grading examples at coinsandcanada.com, I think yours looks more like their EF 40 examples..but oh those scratches

Too much wear on the high points for AU details.

"It looks whizzed."
Harshly Cleaned.
I do not detect any evidence of whizzing here.

Re: 1888 Newfoundland 5 cents - Obverse # 3
Not contradicting, just a statement of learning on my part.
I am aware the definition of whizzed, as taken from the NGC website is, "These coins are mechanically processed using a rotating metal brush in order to impart a false luster onto the coin. When done well, the coins can be quite deceptive if you are unsure what to look for."
When I saw the face of this coin it looked like someone had taken something like a dremel tool with a small wire wheel and spent time going one direction and then another while miserably failing to to make what they had done noticeable.
That is why I used the term whizzed. So then I guess what you are saying is that the result being a false luster where the lines can be almost undetectable is what makes an actual "whizzed" coin?

Maybe it’s been cleaned with a steel scourer the one people use to clean grease and debris stuck to a frying pan.

Yes.......... "Whizzed" coins will show a typical rounding on the top of the of square edged devices

Regardless, this coin is improperly cleaned and in a harsh manner.
