Thanks! I will do that.HB

I just found out that ICCS will not look for any 'extras' on the reverse,unless they are asked to verify a particular item,such as rotated dies,double HP,etc.They also charge an extra $2.50 to verify each item of interest. I learned another thing today! HB

Anyone?? Thanks,HB

I just bought a 1939 Canada which has been graded by ICCS as MS-63,but the original owner had placed a note on the holder stating "2XHP". My question is,why did ICCS not pick up on that little extra piece to that coin?.They just missed it,or is it of little importance? I am new,so not quit...

Thanks! I get 2 degrees on the obverse and 10 degrees on the reverse....so,I have an 8 degree die rotation(10-2=8?). How many of the under 45 degree versions of the flying goose are out there, do you figure.... and what angles?. 8 degrees sounds about right. Otherwise, I don't have answers to your ...

Brass, I think if you draw a line across the top of the C and 7 [CANADA 1867-1967], that will give you the reverse baseline. On the obverse, draw a horizontal baseline between the bottom edge of the E [ELIZABETH] and the A [REGINA]. You should then be able to accurately measure the difference with ...

Just use a cardboard flip and mark the axes H and V before placing the coin iand aligning the obverse and stapling the flip. You should be able to measure the angle. Not sure I follow?? How do I know the which way the obverse(head) is supposed to be orientated in the 'correct' position?. The "...

I have a 1967 "flying goose" silver dollar that may be a rotated die version,possibly 10 degrees,maybe less. How can I accurately say whether it's 10 degree rotation or less.....obviously more rotation would be easier to see,but how can I place the obverse effigy in such a position so that...

I found this picture from the Bank Of Canada National Currency Collection here:
http://www.currencymuseum.ca/collection ... ollar-1935. It shows some jewels,but not sure how many?! Thanks,Hot Brass

I have a hard time finding a clear example of the jewels on the bottom rim of the King George 1935 Canada dollar. I have a graded MS-65 and it barely shows what looks like small protrusions on the lower rim which I think should be jewels. I count 6 showing,I think. Can someone verify exactly how man...

Looking to possibly send this 1935 in for a professional grading.What is your opinion for a grade? http://www.coinsandcanada.com/forum/class/test/1935_bottom.jpeg http://www.coinsandcanada.com/forum/class/test/1935_middle.jpeg http://www.coinsandcanada.com/forum/class/test/1935_top.jpeg http://www.c...

Thanks! Hot Brass

Thanks. Bought a Dino-Lite. Hot Brass

I am fairly new and have been buying mostly my graded Canadian coins from E-bay. Most are the usual ICCS TPG,but I have seen many others.Is there a list anywhere of third-rate third party graders out there...ones to stay away from? Thanks,Hot Brass

672,218 minted. Highest since '39 and not beaten until 1953, then finally for good in '58 and beyond. Cheers Hi: Not sure I follow.....this mintage number (672,218) is fairly low compared to some.(I get why a 1948 is worth so much,being that only 18,780 were minted),but the 1965 minted 10,768,569 (...
