I've seen too many ICCS errors lately and I'm also considering moving to NGS or PCGS.   |

Not MS I think, more likely PL or Specimen (don't know which set it was issued in)?

That's not a grading error that's a typo.
All TPGs make those kind of errors, no exceptions.
Why on earth would you want to spend more than double this coin's value to have it graded.
SP66 is a kinda an average grade for this coin.

That looks like a business strike to me...I can see a few bag marks.
Are you disagreeing with the grade?

I'm also curious to see how many 2003 Old Effigy loonies were graded as MS. There should be no MS coins minted from 1997 to 2001. And there should be no MS Old Effigy 2003 loonies. Pretty please of course :) Edited by upc239

From the 2015 ICCS pop report Business Strike Section 2001 Loonie Total in MS 43 2003 Loonie Old Effigy Total in MS 36. Prooflike / NBU Section 2001 Loonie Total in MS-NBU 59 2003 Loonie (effigy not defined) Total in MS-NBU 14 2003 W Loonie (effigy not defined) Total in MS-NBU 36 There are no "PL" grades for either. |

I get a lot of coins from the US and the current postal delays due to Covid-19 are annoying and frustrating. Looking over the coins above I'm shocked to think ICCS would grade the 1915 dime below EF. That's a nice coin and on no day under any sun that's ever crept over an Earthly hillside would ever grade a VF.

 ICCS definitely mis-graded the 1915 dime, it's at least EF-40. |

I am amazed , no one picked up the Double punching in the date of the 1915 .
Agree that coin is EF all day long .

So I couldn't resists. Sent a few back to ICCS.
The 1915 10c now ICCS EF40. That's a grade up from the original ICCS grade
The 1871 10c now ICCS VF20. That's two grades down from the original ICCS grade
The 1940 50c now ICCS MS64. Back to the original ICCS grade.

Maybe the lesson here is that the Sheldon Scale has always been absolute voo-doo, is completely subjective and its absurd for such enormous value swings to occur as a result of something so abstract that it can't even be quantified, nor consistently applied. What Sheldon got right: The 9 Grade ranges from G to 3 Mint-States. You can arrive at a reasonable consensus of what distinguishes a VG from a F using perfectly rational technical standards. You can even get consensus about a low mint state, a middle mint state and a near flawless mint state. What Sheldon got wrong: An arbitrary scale of 1-70 where there is absolutely no rational difference between a 5 and a 6 or 64 and a 65, other than the land of make-believe, yet enormous value changes can occur between those grades and the private TPG industry we've entrusted to handle it all cannot achieve any repeatability in its own grades- a hallmark of psuedo-science. Whole system is a joke. Zero credibility. Edited by RCM

That 1871 is a key reason why I don't trust any US TPG to grade circulated Canadian material, no way that coin is an EF. A text book VF. |
