Yes, it's a #4. I'd agree with the AU details, but the scratch and possible environmental damage would lower the overall grade.
The T.O. Expo starts tomorrow at 10 at Yonge & Bloor. Great Bell auction, especially tokens and gold.
As I said before, the 1967 set is a really nice thing for any Canadian to have and hold. The Centennial of anything is great to own and pass on...
I didn't say that the 1967 proof set had no numismatic value. I said that the set appreciated only because of the rise in the scrap value of the...
Gold was about $35 in 1967. It's now about $1200. The 2 tiered system started in 68/69 and the price was free to float since then.
There were only 2 worth voting on. Most are so busy in the design that it will be indistinguishable on the coin. It would help if they told us...
Onofrio: The 1967 proof set went up because of the price of raw gold. It had little to do with the collectability of the $20 gold piece. The...
Rick: You posted the same query on the CinC site. I said that I'd get the 50 cent guru to answer you, but his reistration has not been OK'd yet....
Yes, I think that the RCM went off the deep end 10 or so years ago and now is considered right up there with the Franklin Mint and the Isle of Man...
I think that across the board, you will get much less for the RCM stuff than you paid. Not only was RCM stuff sold at a steep premium but what...
I really like both of the designs. I'd never seen them before.
The woodgrained large cents were fairly common for most of the Geo years and yours really shows up well. Could it be a coincidence that Canada...
I usually don't ever post with the "nice coin" comments. I look in here every day, and if someone has a question, then I'll answer it. If no one...
It's an Obv 2. None of the Obv 1 markers are there. The chin/throat is not rounded, the neck truncation ends at/points to the bead to the left...
Although I look onto this site nearly every day, I very seldom post unless someone has a question or needs some info. I'm not one to post "nice...
I posted your thread on another website and the token collectors there said that the pics weren't good enough to tell anything for certain, but...
Though I wouldn't use the stuff on any coin that you want to keep pristine, a product called goo-gone removes many many things off a variety of...
I forgot that the "jade insert" on the "glow-in-the-dark" coin was the polar bear. So it looks like the polar bear was swimming in algae all day...
The RCM is the ultimate example of producing "granny bait" and has reached the point where they have run out of Canadian subjects so they make...
I would say AU-50, probably evn a little higher. The "toning" appears to be something may have spilled on it or it got a few drops on it and ran....
