You Vs ICCS.....1946 5 Cents

That must be frustrating getting so close every time! This is the best one ive been able to aquire...AU at best! I only kept it because its a 6/6 double, and also has the 5CENTS double. Sweet '46 hoard you have tho!!

Well I said AU at best. Wasnt really looking for grades or comments, just wanted to share a pic of a '46 error with a clear collector of '46's...Take er easy. Ill call mine a VG then if it'll clear the waters, no problem.

I am surprised at the MS 64 grade. But maybe the coin looks different in hand
Not trying to steal your thunder , but am curious what grades YOU guys would expect of the following 3 coins from ICCS and or PCGS. Only one is graded so far by CCCS.
thank you for your efforts.

47P7....quite honestly, with that lighting, I can't tell the grade, mainly because I look at fields and by experience, that type of lighting can hide imperfections in the fields, so I'll pass on the grading for these.

I will hazard a guess on the 1948 5c though (can't resist).... an ms64.

@UncleLuc...Thanks for sharing your 46 nickel.
I do use ICCS exclusively for my Canadian coins I wish to have graded. I do plan to try CCCS also in the future. My reasons for ICCS are:
1.) Are know for there strict grading of Canadian coins and are recognized for this among dealers and collectors. IMO they are the benchmark for Canadian coin grading.
2.) They are very affordable in comparison to PCGS or NGC. It cost roughly the same with CCCS as it does ICCS.
3.) Excellent service with roughly 2-3 week turn around.
4.) It's a Canadian owned company as is CCCS. This is personally important to me as I prefer to support Canadian when possible. PCGS and NGC are American companies.
They do have faults though:
1.) ICCS only have flips. CCCS have flips and you can get hard slabs for a min. extra cost.
2.) No website for ICCS. CCCS does have a website.
Hope that explains my reasons.

@47P7... As double mentions it is hard to grade from the pictures. From what I can see.
1922...ICCS MS62 and a shot at MS63. ICCS is very tough on 1922-36 series.
1953 NSF FL...MS64 w/details "corrosion".
1948...Thats a beauty. MS64

MS-65
AU-55 corrosion
MS-65

Nice coins. The 1953 nickel looks like a NSF Near leaf Mule. The left leaf is almost touching the denticles. Yes/No ?

CCCS can be overly strict on raw coins in my limited experience with submissions to them, though then tend to cross ICCS without much scrutiny. That 1922 (appears) very clean in the fields, I would be unimpressed with a 63 grade if they sent that back to me. I sent them an incredibly well struck, mark free and blazing 1978 RJ 50c hoping it might get a 68 grade, and they sent it back a 66. They also graded my average, problem free PL (unc) Nunavut mule a 66, which was reasonable. You win some you lose some.
