Lookin on E-Bay for coins I seem to notice that MS 65 Red coins are selling for much more than PL or SP coins? Why is that? Are MS coins in general more desirable? Also if I wanted to get some coins graded by ICCS what is the process? I can't seem to find much informtion about what it costs per coin or say per 10 or 20 coins? Any information is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

jbsquash Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 4:42 pm First of all Now as for your questions, I personally have never submitted anything to ICCS however, someone on this forum will be glad to help. Regarding your question regarding MS, PL, and SP. These are all different types of coins. MS coins as the regular coins that can be found in circulation thus it is harder to find one in top condition based on how they are made etc. PL is for prooflike coins and SP is for specimen coins. These coins comes from sets and are thus easier to get in top condition. These coins all have different appearances (finishes to them). Hopefully that answers part of your question Report this Post to the Staff

fxst99 New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 12:40 pm So in general, it would be better to have MS coins than a PL or SP coin of the same grade from a collectability standpoint, and perhaps a financial one too? Thanks for the info on ICCS..I'm pleasantly suprised it's cheaper than I thought. Great reading all the questions and answers on the forum..really handy information!! Report this Post to the Staff
jbsquash Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 1:11 pm I would say generally most people prefer to have MS coins which typically means that a MS-64 coin is more expensive than a PL-64 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 2:04 pm PL is typically issued to collectors and the number of these coins mintage) rarely diminishes unless mass melting is done. MS are circulation strikes and the number of mint state coins wears out in circulation easeily. Also keep in mind that some MS coins issaued in sets are graded as "Numismatic BU".

fxst99 New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 3:29 pm I've seen "Numismatic BU" on some of the graded coins..what's the difference between those and just a regualar MS?Is one more desirable than another? Report this Post to the Staff
