I need to remember to look at these on my computer and not on my phone. lol.
I'd say there is some potential for the half and maybe the quarter for 68 even. You don't see a lot of 68's from back then but that half in particular is very nice looking. If it's as nice as it looks in the photo it's definitely a minimum of 67.
Very, very nice set!

Absolutely beautiful set. the Half and the quarter could be 68's with the rest falling in between 65-67.
I would keep them as well.

Thank you Fellows,
I have other sets of at least equal (IMO) quality.
1956, 57, and 60, and a few more with some coins similar to that, especially the 50 cents pieces.
If you like, I can post the images. (it would sort of take over this forum for a day or two. the mods might not like that)
But my issue is, as said before, It is outside my serious interest.
Question: When has ICCS issued a 67 or 68 grade for a PL coin?[/b]PCGS would simply be way to cumbersome, shipping, customs and $$$. ( and NGC is not an option for me)

If you search on ebay right now in all canadian coins and filter by ICCS PL (67,68) you get 21 hits. Admittedly more than half of them are modern, but there are 8 or 10 that are from the 50's and 60's. All 67 though. So they do issue them, just not a lot. If the dollar graded high enough and has a cameo it's worth sending to PCGS and ask for a CAM designation. The rest to ICCS or leave raw depending on your preference. If you don't want to send to PCGS yourself send them to Sandy Campbell and he will submit for you. Prepare to wait a while as PCGS can be pretty slow. |

If these are proof-like, why do you want them certified. Almost every one issued in packing would be 67 or above. Only if they would grade them as MS coins would it be worthwhile to submit a few but, even then, it may be good money after bad.

When has ICCS issued a PL 68 for an early PL coin ?
Once that I am certain of ......
in 1989 I purchased a 1956 Original in card set at
the spring CICF show in Chicago from Glenn
Schenke , an American coin dealer . Paid him
140 US for the set at the time .
The Dollar was spectacular so I broke the set
and sent it to ICCS , it came back PL68 and
was / is currently the finest graded by ICCS .
I subsequently sold the coin at a North Vancouver show
for just under three grand all in to a prominent collector.
Not sure if there are any other PL 68 Early dollars graded by ICCS.
As to grades on H set as pictured, probably best to send to ICCS .
The 2 coins that have a shot at a 7 in my opinion are the 50 cents and the 25 cents . The rest should end up as 66 . Wonderful set indeed.
A bit of a background on these early PL sets . The quality control on these 1954 to 1960 sets did leave a lot to be be desired and quality with regards to current standards generally run from PL 64 to PL66 , with not a lot
of HCam or UH Cameo coins available .
The best shot at an original Gem Quality set is 1956 followed by 1955.
The worst quality 1957 . 1954 can be all over the map , 1958 generally
quite attractive . In 1959 and 1960 the quality of these sets improved dramatically .

Oakie,
why grading? they will sell better in a ICCS flip.
when I bought these (9 sets) the price was right. and as you all know, if a graded coin is a 65 or a 66 or even a 67, can make a huge price difference.
For the last month, I have been selling my low end and plus my "not suitable" items on the bay. Will hopefully end up with only good stuff by the fall or year-end.
Pacific,
you are a walking Numusmatik encyclopedia.
How did you get all that knowledge?
thank you all for your comments.

here is the 1956 set. The question is: which of the 2 is the better set? 55 or 56?    |

good advise. However, the reason for downsizing from many hundreds of coins is just that: reducing the # and keeping only the actual interest coins. In my case Canada QV and to-1921.
Most others will need to find a new home and "go somehere else". However, there are some scare exception coins. But even these would enjoy someone elses coin drawers.

I like the half and the quarter better in the 1955 set. The half has a much stronger strike. I like the dollar better in the 1956 set. It looks more likely to grade higher. I'm ambivalent about the rest. :). And yes I'd be happy to own either set. If it was me and I was keeping one set I'd keep the 1955 set, but that's mainly because I like halves more than anything.

When the picture is reflective like that, they look ms or pl 68, but could be only low 60's.
You can't see any hairlines or light scratches at all.
Be careful and bid accordingly.

NO scratches, touch ups or any trick Photography.
I am sure most of you are aware that shiny reflective coins are not easy to photograph if you are not a Professional. You can always copy and use your photo SW and play with them a bit and see.
And, I am sure everyone is aware that if you enlarge a perfect surface enough, there will always be micro hairlines and other 50x enlarged issues visible. It's just naturally in the metal.
And, at this time Nobody is bidding. No desicion is made as to how (graded or raw) or where these are going to be sold. There are 7 more sets to be considered.
