[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7302849, member: 105571"]Randy, I don't know how you can reconcile your desire for a price point that corresponds to EF-40 or 45, a white coin, and the TPG guarantee of a straight grade. These seem to me to be somewhat contradictory. I think if you really want a white coin, then you will have to buy a higher grade, say AU-55 or 58, that the TPGs will straight grade as an old gentle cleaning that is market acceptable. Here is my type set coin that satisfies all your criteria except price. This was won in a GC auction Nov, 2019. The all-in cost was $1820 at a time when the Greysheet bid was $1940 and the CDN CAC Retail Price Guide was $2200. Decent coins are out there but I think you may have to modify your criteria. Frankly, whenever I have "settled" for a coin because of price, I have regretted it. But whenever I paid up fairly for what I really wanted, I never regretted it. You know this drill. Good luck with the hunt. [ATTACH=full]1277153[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
