It's 6 different coins that they found after 100 years...you know...we all misplace stuff...not usually gold coins, but we still all misplace stuff here and there...
Very interesting. Did you read the disclaimer? Pretty much says there is no standard used when grading the coins. Which suggests they might all be cleaned. Or maybe even counterfeit. There are, afterall, loads of these coins out there which are fake. Some of them pretty convincingly, struck coins with the only give-away being tone that reveals an uneven alloy. Been burned by one of them myself a number of years ago. Also kind of interesting that the 1913 and 1914 ten dollar coins are priced higher than the 1912. To be sure the 1912 is easier to find, but the 75% premium for the others is way out of line. Should be no more than 20% or 25% at most. And then on the $5 coins, they are all priced the same even though the 1914 is far and away the rarest of the entire 6 coin set. The thing I find most disturbing about this offer has to do with the seller presumably still owning the dies that made the originals. Seems to me there are grounds for legitimate concern about the Canadian Mint possibly making restrikes to supply "unexpected demand" etc. Or am I just being paranoid?
At one time I had the complete 6 coin set. The 1914 gold $5 in AU58 with all the others in MS60 thru MS62. Sold off all except the 1912 gold $10 which was the nicest coin. All of them jump astronomically in price in any grade above MS62. I really should crack this one out and try again. Aside from a single bag mark in the field in front of the king's eye, the coins is choice BU.
