Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 6:25 pm This set of coins is currently up on ebay, with a starting price of $50,000. There are some great coins in this set! I have included images of the coins below, just in case someone is looking these up, they will have more then a dead link for reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1858-Provin...12057wt_1327 Large Cent 5 Cents 10 Cents 20 Cents Does anyone else think that the 20 Cent coin is under graded, at a SP-64?

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 11:59 pm These are nice, but you will find even nicer ones in Sandy Campbell's cases... I think Sandy has most of the ex-Temple collection. The Bank of Canada Currency museum bought a couple pieces from the Temple collection, that the curator brought into my lab for testing with the XRF - maybe I'll share a few photos (if I can find them...).

youngloonie Valued Member Canada 173 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 10:41 pm no bids at 50k? how accurate is this ask? the coins are stunning and rare but well beyond most collectors without getting a second mortgage. seems odd to sell it on ebay Report this Post to the Staff
