And I find that Charest often prices a little low against market, depending on the coin. So perhaps these go for more?

After a certain angle, say when the goose is "crashing" 90 deg I'd say price would definitely do up to 1k. If the goose is completely up side down then wow, 3-5k? (This is wild goose.. guess I mean).

Marc,  If there's an "inverted flight" goose, then I want one!  I think mine is a "stalling goose" at best. |

Actually Kurt, Charlton 62nd edition p132 lists the "inverted flight" MS-63 at $3,500.00 -

Thats more of the price I am used to seeing... I guess it does all depend on the degree of rotation.

I have one that is slanted towards the bottom slightly but it is not diving.

I just found one in a Proof Like set. The goose is diving to the left at about 45 degrees down from horizontal. Does anyone know what the set would be worth?

Wow...congrats!  The only values I've seen are for the coin alone. |

Which brings up a point I have had for some time: How does one tell for sure, (without an overlay), whether the obv/rev are in sync, or not? There is no "zero-point" on the obv, to use as a reference, like the rev, use of the word "cent" at 090/270, referring to the cent,obviously. Ours, (the US coins) have a number of reference points that can be used. Dick |

Dick--good question! For the obverse, I don't exactly know what is the "level" position for the portrait.  |

The goose's normal level position is completly horizontal when the queen's head is pointing to 12 o'clock. My wife actually discovered my "diving" goose when I was looking at the Queen's head and she asked me if the goose was suposed to be "diving". I then checked it in a mirror. Sure enough I have a Canada silver dollar "diving goose" in a Proof Like coin set. I have attached an obverse and a reverse photo. Image:  Reverse.jpg29.8 KB Image: Obverse.jpg30.73 KB George |

gdrake, now that I have seen what I have been looking for, *the Canadian version of the "mint set"), how can we, in the US, get them? These, I want!

I have been buying mine on ebay, just search "Canada Proof Like PL set". You can also buy them from the Royal Canadian Mint and most Canadian Post Offices. George |
