<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1582069, member: 24091&quot;]Very interesting.&nbsp; Did you read the disclaimer?&nbsp; Pretty much says there is no standard used when grading the coins.&nbsp; Which suggests they might all be cleaned.&nbsp; Or maybe even counterfeit.&nbsp; There are, afterall, loads of these coins out there which are fake.&nbsp; Some of them pretty convincingly, struck coins with the only give-away being tone that reveals an uneven alloy.&nbsp; Been burned by one of them myself a number of years ago.&nbsp; Also kind of interesting that the 1913 and 1914 ten dollar coins are priced higher than the 1912.&nbsp; To be sure the 1912 is easier to find, but the 75% premium for the others is way out of line.&nbsp; Should be no more than 20% or 25% at most.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing I find most disturbing about this offer has to do with the seller presumably still owning the dies that made the originals.&nbsp; Seems to me there are grounds for legitimate concern about the Canadian Mint possibly making restrikes to supply &quot;unexpected demand&quot; etc.&nbsp; Or am I just being paranoid?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
