Jeez, has it really been FOUR YEARS since anybody posted a Canadian coin in this forum? Wake up folks! MS65 PCGS Best Regards, George
That's because there are 2 other 'post your canadian..' threads lol; 'Post Your New Old Canadian Coins' & the older 'Post Your New Canadian Acquistions' Nice '67 @giorgio11
Ah thanks jj00 I thought we had got all moribund. Now I need a nice 1967 quarter and half in MS PCGS to go with ;=) Best Regards, George
This is not the correct thread/forum for this question, but it poped in to my head as I was reading this. The photos posted by member are very nice for the most part as in this thread. What method of capture was used for the images here in? Scanner, digital camera or some other process? I would like to contribute but the photo results I am getting from my Canon digital SLR are less then bad. Thank you for any info suggestion and help to this newbe member.
Search for threads on coin photography, there are a few with good advice. I personally do everything on my phone and get decent results. It’s usually a matter of lighting and a steady hand. iPhone 6 pic:
I was just using that as an example of the decent pics one can take with a cell phone. Sorry for the confusion. That coin is an 1892 in AU58.
So, that toned 1967 dollar above (which I paid $450 for)? Guess how much it brought when I sold it in 2016 at Heritage Auctions?
OK, time's up. (Or, more correctly, if I don't post the answer soon I will forget and never do so, and several completists will go completely off the rails.) So, this 1967 Canadian dollar, which I paid $450 for, brought $2800 plus (I think at the time it was) 17.5% juice, of which I got 8%. So my take for that one coin was $3,024 dollars, or a gross profit of $2,574. Pretty sweet, and something that is exceptional in my experience. Kind regards, George
Gorgeous coin. I have posted in the other thread Link: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-new-old-canadian-coins.258054/page-87#post-4348172
It's nice to see this old thread brought back to life. I personally usually don't post on threads that don't delineate what specific coin is going to be discussed ... those that go on and on for years with 100's of comments. However, I DO have a comment on this thread. On Nov 20, 2015 "techwriter" posted what I think that he meant to be an 1859/8 Vicky large cent. It IS NOT a 9/8, but rather a very scarce/rare 1859 over inverted 9, commonly called an 1859/6. I don't think that that specific variety had been openly discussed anywhere at that time on this site. However, I had one certified in 2011, 4 years previously. If "techwriter is still around, you may want to get it TPG'd. You should have a very sharp definitive vine break at leaf 2 (about 1:00 on the clock) and a D/C at leaf 12 (there are 16 leaves, starting at 12:30 on the clock)..
To Bill in Burl: I seldom if ever TPG the coins. If I recall that particular coin was just sort of "found".
