Hi Folks, I guess it's high grades or key dates, so I went for key dates tonight. NFLD 1880 1c Oval 0 mintage unknown (VG-8 $240, F-12 $375, VF-20 $625) NFLD 1870 5c only 30,000 minted (VG-8 $240, F-12 $375, VF-20 $675) NFLD 1885 10c only 8,000 minted (VG-8 $130, F-12 $240, VF-20 $500) The scratches on the 1870 mean that only a details grade would be in the offing but the other two should grade I would think. Undecided at to whether to send them in to NGC or not, perhaps not. .
Probably right, as I say, went for key dates not grade. I sold a Canadian key date in low grade (unslabbed) within 4 minutes of posting it on e-bay for three times what I paid this week. Keep or sell, not sure yet.
Well that's kind of my point. They don't need to be slabbed to sell. And being raw, some may even gamble a bit on them. Paying grading fees is not always a good choice.
Yes, right, agree. I see these NFLD key dates have come up in discussion on CT before. Collect89 and others posted a while back. I just had some grades back from NGC this week actually.....a stunning Canadian 1872H 25c that looked AU/MS got designated 'surface hairlines'.....Bowers Merena Ponterio orig.
