<p>[QUOTE="Fawcett1994, post: 1576553, member: 42205"]Hi, i know i'm a little late to the discussion (thread is over half a month old), but none the less i think i should add my two cents because i live in Canada, and collected coins like this at one point, and every time i'm at a show it's all i ever see. Frankly i'm sick of them, it's why i collect foreign, but anyways that's off topic. That coin in the PCGS holder is indeed attributed incorrectly. I'm not suprised, because there are 6 varieties for this date listed in the Charlton Standard Catalog, and it is not the first time i've seen this date be designated as the wrong variety by a major American grading company. I'm sad to be the bearer of bad news, but it is the straight 7 wide date variety and in EF-40 has a catalog price of $25. This is a big boo-boo for PCGS, as the difference in price is astronomical and i'd hate to see someone spend all that money just to find out PCGS made an error.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are collecting or selling Canadian coins in America, i would recommend not sending them to the American companies and wait till you have 100 or so pieces and send them in bulk (alot cheaper that way) to ICCS in Toronto or CCCS in Montreal.
