Thanks everyone. I went...came back $130 poorer (a lot for a small timer)...but it was worth it, got more than I was looking for for a good price.
I'll be back.

Glenzy1, I noticed the same thing. The auction highlights actually sold this time around. Could it be that Charles Moore has attracted a lot of American buyers to the sale? I mean c'mon, the PCGS 1913 Broad Leaves in MS-65 sold for over $50k... any thoughts on this?

I'll be back. What did you end up getting? There was lots of nice stuff there. Did anyone else make any purchases at the show or auction? |

I noticed that prices were much stronger at the auction. None of my lowball bids won.
I won lot 2950, a 1947 Curved Right 7 50 cents in ICCS MS-63.

Nice ...
Ummm, not a 1947 "Maple Leaf" Curved 7 50 cents in ICCS MS-63, was it? (because that is my illusive $10,000 unicorn-coin)=> it's the only hole left to fill in my 50 cent piece album (I seldom see it available, and if I ever do see it for sale I usually don't have an extra $10,000 lying around to spend on coins!) ...
... but "Maple Leaf" or not, I'm glad to hear that you bought yourself a nice coin!

 Kitkat, several months ago prior to this Fall's Torex, I spoke to a well known Canadian coin dealer. He stated that his high end inventory is starting to move. When I questioned him , "Why the sudden change in this buying trend?" He stated that long time "high end" investors of the stock and bullion market are looking into the RARE coin market and making purchases like never before. Investors are nervous about the World situation especially how things are going in the European market and with countries like Italy/Greece on the verge of financial bankruptcy, it could lead to an eventual crash in stocks and gold/silver prices. However, I was told by this dealer that high end investors are not only looking at diversifying their portfolio's, they feel that there is a lot of potential in the Canadian coin market since our earlier mintages are soo brutally low. If you haven't already grabbed the Key's you've been looking for, now is the time to put a rush on it. Wait till you see the upcoming Heritage Auction, I feel we will see record prices being set on this for Canadian coins. European and U.S. investors/collectors are getting in on the low mintage Canadian Decimal phenomenon! Glenn  Edited by glenzy1

SPP-Ottawa => 1859, Narrow 9, ICCS Fine-12 ("Brass")?
If this is the coin you're referring to, then it looks like it went for $18,000 + the fees => $21,000
... ummmm, I didn't buy it

Thanks for a quick response. One more question: what was the 1969 dollar error (struck on silver 50c planchet) hammer?

$5250 + the fees = $6195
... hey, now do me a favour if you've got a sec => go into my thread about key-dates and give me some quick feedback on my choices for Canadian 25 cent key dates, okay? (do a brother a favour => thanks)

Not bad hammer for a PL65 grade. I would comment on your thread, but I don't collect 25c coins.

What did you end up getting? There was lots of nice stuff there. Well there seems to be two simultaneous conversations goin on here...one super high-end...then my super low-end...haha! Here is what I picked up: (as for grade they are all obviously around VF, F or lower...I don't really know or care as long I think the coin is acceptable) 1c: 1894 NF 1c: 1908 5c: 1870, 1893, 1881H, 1903H, 1926 5c (near 6) 10c: 1902, 1902H, 1903H, 1904, 1912, 1934, 1948 I don't really collect notes, but found these all at great prices, so I thought I'd branch out: $1 note: 1937, 1954, 1954 (devil face) $2 note: 1954 $5 note: 1954, 1972 $10 note: 1937, 1954, 1971 $20 note: 1954 Edited by EY_Pep

SPP-Ottawa => yes, you're correct => "they" predicted that the error coin would go for $12,000, so somebody got a super coin for a very nice price ...
Oh, and no sweat on the Key-date thingy (DBM manned-up and gave me a very good answer/logic) ...
anyway ... being a mining guy, I should have known not to rely on a geologist for answers!?
