At the top of every page it says "Knowledge is the key to collector success"
Rings kind of hollow given that these misinformative and misleading articles are presented to us by CCF.
Doesn't matter that they come from PCGS or other sources, they appear to have the approval of CCF.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

True but only one likeness, or portrait.

I don't have the time, do you? If you want to correct them, fine. But there's no need to be so nasty about it. Even when you send notes to staff about honest mistakes you're nasty about it half the time. It's growing old and tiresome. Note JHax corrected us in the 20 cent topic and was very polite about and it still got the job done. |

GEEZ. misinformation and misleading? That is pretty aggressive. I thought it was very Informative. Unless they lied about Mintages or error coins Not sure what is so misleading?
I would like to get my hands on the PROOF versions of this 1967 goose. I have some proof/like and a couple still in the packaging but I want to get a proof still.

PCGS is not always correct in what they write about Canadian coins.
Mostly they are only "half right".... if that.

The highest quality are specimen strikes, but, if you find one struck by brand new dies, it will have a nice cameo to it.

SPP-Ottawa.. Thank you. It's been very confusing if they even made a proof version of this coin. So Proof/like has been the best I can find. I'm still not familiar what the difference is between proof/like and proof. I feel like Proof/like is a made up term. I have seen this coin on ebay advertised as Proof for around $70, I didn't want to spend that money. I'm not sure what to think of that. |

The 1967 coins were struck as (from lowest to highest quality):
Business (circulation) strikes
Proof-like strikes (issued in pliofilm plastic sets)
Specimen strikes (issued in red and black boxes, the black box had the $20 gold coin in it)
PCGS would sometimes grade the specimen strikes with strong cameos on them, as "proof" (PR), to add to the confusion.
In Canadian coins, proof strikes are struck twice with special dies to obtain the deep cameo effect (mirror fields, frosted devices). That started in 1981.

SPP-Ottawa, Again thank you. To add to the confusion. I'm noticing this coin from 2017? in a proof? 99.99 silver. This is the ebay listing #. 193543004233I think I may need to add this one to the flock. Not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger at $75 though. |

Miguel, the one you are looking at is a commemorative from 2017, its the 150th anniversary of the creation of Canada. the coin is not a circulation coin, it is NCLT 99.999 pure silver. The RCM released in 2017 a line of pure silver coins recreating the animal series from 1967. |
