Send it to PCGS and get a MS64! That's a very nice coin and I am able to see that it is much nicer than my HS $5 example. You have captured the coin's lustre!

Thanks for all the input! I'm starting to change my mind on possibley getting it graded. I'd like to get a definitive out of the capsule unbiased thrid party opinion. What the census for whom I should send to for grading. PCGS?

I'm sending mine, if I decide to certify them, to ICCS for the following reasons: - I trust them to grade Canadian coins - I Prefer a smaller holder for storage in safe dep box vs larger hard plastic holder - the average cost per coin will be much less than sending it to PCGS unless you can do it on a special. And the turnaround time will probably be less without any border hassles, although there will be CDN HST to pay. - The only downside is - ICCS will attribute it as part of the Bank of Canada hoard, but I doubt their label will be as nice and flashy as PCGS's I'm not going to comment on grading results:PCGS vs ICCS because I have only seen the PCGS examples that are being offered on ebay at the moment. |

U only get the designation of being a bank hoard coin if its sent with the holograms intact. One could alway extract there coin(s) form that capsel and have a basic labeled coin.

I endorse the idea that a TPG of higeest reputation should be used. Why? These coins have been faked to an extremely high quality, using low grade recycled U.S. gold coins, so even with the fakes, the 90% gold alloy is good. |

I saw three of the premium pieces tonight... only one would grade MS-62, the rest were MS-60... I honestly think this is like a lottery - some will get lucky with MS-63+ coins, but most won't...

Has anyone seen or heard any details of the 140 6 coin sets? At the price per coin I'd think it's more then luck of the draw or would greatly hope so!
