<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 8077392, member: 39508&quot;]Good advice Joe.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, personal experience for me shows that coins struck on foreign host planchets are definitely ones I tend to send in for grading/certification (if, and that is a big IF, they are mint state). But, I do my homework first. There is definitely value added to off-metal errors by slabbing if the label states the country of the host planchet. For example &quot;Canada 1c struck on Dominican Republic 10 Centavos planchet&quot; or Canada $1 struck on New Zealand 50c planchet&quot; will always fetch a stronger price than the exact same coin with a generic label of &quot;struck on foreign planchet&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I digress, doing your homework is the &quot;value added knowledge&quot; here that certainly more than covers the cost of the certification, not the mere act of slabbing itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
