I was checking coins I put away 40 years ago and would like any info you may have on this coin. The pictures are my first attempt with a handheld digital camera.   |

Wow, outstanding. I don't much believe in slabbing, but that is an exception.

Yes, get it slabbed, another member here had a 1954 Canada cent NSF had it slabbed and got a nice return for his coin. |

But wait! If it is not in the ICCS Population Report, how can this rarity exist? https://goccf.com/t/100054&whichpage=1(Yes, I am being sarcastic, and yes, I told you so...) Sorry, I could not resist! Very, very nice coin by the way. Yours looks to be perhaps VF grade, and should see some spirited bidding in any auction. Congrats on a nice find!

As you are in Canada, the easiest way is to send it to ICCS or CCCS. The cost is similar. With a coin of this value, I would drop it off in person if possible, which would suggest ICCS if you are near Toronto or CCCS if you are near Quebec. If neither is convenient, I would call them first to let them know it is coming and send it in by insured mail. I would say the two are equally well recognized and trustworthy. CCCS does a nice hard slab which this coin would certainly warrant. I wouldn't go to the trouble, cost and risk of sending it across the border to the US companies. I don't think for this coin it would impact the value. The grading on this is not so important. It is really more about authentication.

Perhaps take a look at dropping it off with a reputable dealer in your area. They might be able to expedite the grading process for a reasonable fee.
Best of luck!
