and yes im willing to except a complete anacs set..

 

Good luck with the certification requirement. Most of us Large Cent (US and Canadian) collectors like raw coins. Just sayin..... Attributing old copper that is slabbed is just that much harder in my opinion.

 

There are few, if any, Canadian large cents for any given date that have been slabbed in lower grades by any of these TGP's. (I assume you are looking to trade for a lower grade set.)
Trading a high grade or mint state set for the silver maple leaf set is a terrible deal for the person trading away the large cents.

 

My thoughts ran along the same way when I read the initial post.
Mint State large cents are worth more than any silver Maple Leaf and lower grade cents probably wouldn't be certified.
Anyway, most certified Canadian cents are certified by ICCS, not PCGS or NGC.

 

As others have stated, I'm not sure that that you will find any large cent collectors that would trade for a silver maple leaf set. I have thousands of Vickies, and most of those that I know in the same niche think of maple leafs as silver bullion only. Good luck on your endeavor.

 

You might have a btter chance looking for ICCS or CCCS graded cents.
Bill iB is one of the best experts in Canadian cents.. Basically, his very deep and vast knowledge is law as far as cents are concerned.
I have some high grade cents, but would never trade them for a piece of silver..unless that silver is in form of a Canadian high end Vicky silver coin.

Your largest obstacle is the fact that nearly half on the coins that you want in the set are so common and inexpensive, even in MS (less than $20 a coin) that no one would have previously had them certified because of the TPG cost. Very few people (unless seeking the 64-65s) are going to pay $10-$20 to TPG a coin that will never be worth more than $20-$25. Regardless what it says in Trends .. you can't sell a coin to a piece of paper .... many Vickies, most Edwards and all George's are so common that few would ever go to the trouble to certify them. In the US, a mintage of 4-5 million is scarce/miniscule, but here in Canada, that many minted is HUGE! ... let alone those George's that had over 10 million minted. If you really want to get a full collection of Large Cents, I would contact a Canadian dealer up here and have him gather up raw 62-64 common Cents and get them certified..... but you will be paying a 50-80% surcharge for the coins to pay the cost of certification. Then that dealer (preferably one affiliated with CAND) can get the remainder of the coins already cert'd for you over a 2-3 month period by shopping around. But, even up here, maple leafs are not that popular.... I'd say much less so than in the States (my opinion only).

 

Certified large cents in MS find a ready market on eBay, in my experience, as long as they are priced right. CCN Trends are a bit high for lower MS but fairly accurate for the higher grades.
If you can get MS Vicky cents for $20, please tell me where!

 

there are some.. 1911 to 1920... I have seen some certified, but will not buy them... there are toooooo many.
right now I have some raw and probably will not get them slabbed, even though some will reach 62 and 63, maybe even 64. Just not worth my effort.Then there is the unknown called TPG. grades often depend on the personal state of the grader....today he feels good and grades happy, next day that extra interest is missing...
Watch for my web site coming soon... many coins will be there to see...
soon...

 

im mainly looking for iccs graded..

 

what are you slabbing coins an selling on you website :devil:

 

Coingeezer ... I wasn't talking about MS Vicky coins, as the original post just said he was looking for a cert'd set .. no mention of grade. Most of the Ed's and Geo's you can get for less than $25 in 60-62 with Vickies (common ones) a little more, here in Canada. You can get 88's, 00H's, and 1901's (Vicky) for less than $25 in low MS if you look around or know a dealer.

 

Bill is right..there is nothing else to say..

 

im really would like to atleast build a complete large cent set and get the rare ones..

 

Depends how "rare" you want to go. Some people would say the regular 1858 large cent is rare, for others it may take something like a brass 1859 cent to qualify as rare.

To build a complete slabbed set you are looking at either a lot of time spent searching, or a lot of money spent on convenience buys.

 

no there for me .. i want to have them cross grade via ngc... and then store them..

 

how did this story end? did you get your large cents?

 

i sent a few for cross grades that where and just settled on buying a few coins pre certified by eith pcgs or ngc then ended up selling the lot,

 

still into oddities
