cspence Valued Member Canada 75 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 1:36 pm I cant speak for CCCS but from my experience ICCS and PCGS grade gold coins VERY differently. Might be why we have so many NGC/PCGS Gold coins hitting the market, all the dealers that bought from the mint knew a coin that looked like an ICCS MS62 would grade MS64 down south... Most recently I purchased a ICCS graded USA 1904 quarter eagle as AU58.. Sent it to PCGS and it got slabbed as a MS65... Report this Post to the Staff

It's certainly not very scientific. @ osmiumblue Perhaps it would be easier and a lot less costly to arrange with the RCM to re-capsule your coins with the damaged capsules and seals. I'm pretty sure this can be done. You just have to speak to the right person. If you are a Master Club member and have your own assigned representative, he/she would be a good place to start.

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 8:27 pm why not NGC? NGC is good too Report this Post to the Staff
osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 11/29/2013 08:50 am 'Moose, my recent thoughts were more in line with your earlier suggestion: keep it as is (and may be not fondle it much). But this is a good idea too, although I didn't buy one of the capsules with problems directly from the mint. @mkman123: I know NGC is good too, but ain't both PCGS and NGC suffer from the same issues (see the list by doubleEagle'), in particular for cross-border submissions?

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 11/29/2013 09:12 am Unless you have a top of population grade coin or a rare coin that needs a broader US or world market appeal there is no need for NGC or PCGS slabs. If your gold coins grade above ms 64 it will be worth sending to PCGS and use secure plus service. It cost about 200.00 to slab a single coin at Pcgs, lots of insurance and shipping fees.

osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 7:43 pm UPDATE So people, I exchanged quite a few long emails with Louis during the past few days, learned some about the history, investments, and future-plans of the company, and I'm now convinced that CCCS is indeed a progressive and sustainable business (potential investors take note, seriously!). I am convinced enough to happily submit all my Canadian coins to them, and I strongly suggest Canadians/collectors of Canadian coins to support them as well. P.S. They are now working on the issues with their website/pop-report. I now see what people meant when they mentioned that CCCS is a company accountable to its customers. P.P.S. No, I didn't get a job offer from them Edited by osmiumblue 11/30/2013 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Prismatic Spray New Member Canada 31 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 02:33 am Have you talked to any of the more prominent coin dealers about CCCS? It might be worth getting their opinion as well... just saying'... Report this Post to the Staff
osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 07:33 am Good idea. Can you list some names? Report this Post to the Staff
osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 2:05 pm I'm waiting for 3 more (unrelated) coins to arrive before sending them all to CCCS. Have a good look before I send the two from 1913 off to CCCS. Note the protruding/messed-up sticker on the $5 from '13 (the one that's on top of the catalog; see in between 1 to 2 o'clock of the capsule rim). Also a lot of musings in the description section, as if I'm an expert on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBry-rbTFa8 [This is my first real YouTube video using a cheap P&S camera, so please excuse any mistakes, like the usual issues, plus glove lints on the '14 capsule, etc. HD works best] Enjoy! P.S.: I'm keeping my $5 from '14 intact for now. Edited by osmiumblue 12/02/2013 2:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 12/12/2013 10:41 pm Update: sent both gold coins from 1913 along with a few other coins (also from 1913, cut out of newer ICCS flips) to CCCS today. These won't be the first BoC hoard gold pieces to be graded by CCCS, but no pedigree was assigned for the earlier ones, so these will be the first identifiable ones in CCCS slabs.

osmiumblue Valued Member Canada 245 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 10:23 pm And they are back! Other than the turnaround time, I am very happy with the final products. Both coins were conservatively graded at MS-62 (I've seen worse PCGS MS-63s, but I am not complaining). I also like their slabs very much! The plastic is more transparent and thus the coins look better/clearer in them compared to RCM capsules; I still have one in a capsule and I did actually compare them. Also, there is a window on the top-side of the slab that allows you to view the coin's info without removing it from storage/stack. I believe these are the first CCCS graded coins to have the "Gold, Bank of Canada 2012 Release" pedigree! Here are some photos: Report this Post to the Staff
