Ok, any idea on the grade? By the way, I only paid $6.50, so under spot is not too bad, right?

Nice coin, Matt. I bet it looks even better in hand. Personally, I'm not crazy about these because there are so many around, but I think I'd pick up one like yours in a heartbeat.

I think it would be better to buy the boxes! Too bad couldn't get it new with all those environmental conditions... think of the coins you could put in there and get some monster toners...

I melted all of mine when silver jumped a few years back,..and I was not on this forum (yet).. but I still have the  boxes .. I still think that they are/were beautiful in that pristine specimen strike and colours. Maybe I kept 1 or 2 now in 2x2's with the better toning..I'd have to look.. |

Those with the strong cameo strikes, and flawless surfaces, and good eye appeal with respect to the toning can fetch a decent price, when certified.
I once sold a nice 1972 silver dollar, toned electric blue on the reverse, heavy cameo white on the obverse, certified PCGS SP68, for almost $200... the eye-appeal is what drew the buyer to the coin (and why I certified it in the first place).

SPP, what would you say a fair price - ball park range would be for the above coin?
Thanks,
Matt

In raw condition - not more than the others have stated. Prices go up when gem examples are certified.

Would you say its worth it to send in for grading? That is the type of question that is impossible to give an answer to, without the coin in hand. It might be worth it, not for the money, but for the experience of learning how Canadian specimen strikes are graded by US grading firms. If it were my coin, and I was living in the US - I probably say "yes" because I always want to learn more about grading the specimen and proof strikes.

SPP, that's not a bad idea. I think my membership to NGC is still good until January...
