After seeing this photo I'm drooling, I can't wait until mine arrives. I hope Colonial Acres moving doesn't delay my order too much. I'm more excited to get this coin than getting the new glass candy cane
. I doubt the candy cane will compete when in hand with the war coin!

Did you, Silver Dollar collectors, see this one: Royal Canadian Mint Genuine Leather Silver Dollar Casehttp://www.cdncoin.com/product-p/623932724006.htmWhat do you think: is it really useful, displayable...etc? Does someone have it? And I do not ask about the price, but about usability of the item. I actually still hunt with no success for some nice case for 6 "Vintage Silver Dollars" Edited by Silveroid

@ Arianzo the graded 69, was sold by a friend of mine, Keith has many bargain auctions, collectors should watch his auctions as there are many deals. He has the year of the snake ends in 5 hrs it's at $50 currently. I picked up a NGC pr69 for $49 from another friends auction. This coin is truly outstanding, I just don't get it why it commands so little respect! Yesterday another friend got around $48 US each for 2 NGC pr69 coins. If I had the money, I would of grabbed them also. However, Sman and nov. releases have tapped disposable cash. I love the details and the fact the images tell a complete story when related to the title. This coin is my favorite for 2013 followed by the 1st banknote and then 1st tradition of hunting coin. The nice thing about these 3 coins is they are affordable !

@Silveroid: Personally, I would stay away from storing my coins in a leather wallet/holder. The dyes and other chemicals used in preparing the leather can cause fumes/vapors to escape from the leather and negatively impact stored coins (even if they are still in their capsules).
I believe, over time, you would find that your coins tone while being housed in the leather holder. You might like the effect, you might not. I try to avoid creating such situations for my coins.

Thank you all for valuable inputs. So not surprising, that these (probably old pouches/cases) haven't been used and proposed for sale. Surprising, that RCM didn't make any other branded special case for the Silver Dollars. |

@Silveroid If you're still interested in that leather case, cdncoin has a Black Friday sale this week. It's now only $38.88. If you want it, now is the time.

But,I wanted just to point out that you can get easily this coin at 60-80% of issue price so I don't get how some people is still waiting for the RCM to ship the coin to them instead of cancel it right now and buy it with ebay. I asked your friend about a graded coin he has. He says that it doesn't come with the COA. I understand that as the coin is graded, it's into a holder so he isn't giving the clamshell but I don't get what he need the COA for? |

Thank you a lot.
I saw this and my interest started from this sale.
And ended after some points that members here have raised.

@ Arianzo, the graded coins Keith has are extras he got in the states and doesn't want anymore. This is how he bought them. I have a friend in Az who sends a bunch of coins in to get grade and just gets rid of boxes and COA's . He's trying to do a registry set, what ever that is. He tells me us Canucks are always asking about boxes & COA's on graded coins. He cannot figure out our fascination with the stuff, when it's a graded coin! I'm included, as I offered extra if he could find the packaging, but alas too much work and extra shipping expense. I thought I'd just answer your question, and say I also ask for COA's if I know it's the person sending them in for grading! I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing a couple graded ones that went for $50.

@pockchange50, I guess I am as well a bit of a stickler when it comes to original packaging and COA's. I just feel to is one more step in avoiding the fakes. Graded and slabbed coins aren't always immune either!

This is very true, I doubt places like modern coin mart or first strike coins gives the original packing either. It would be interesting too find out, if dealers that submit batches of coins would give the COA's or original packaging if requested. This is an interesting point, as how many people buying a slabbed coin, would request the original packaging? I have seen both Canadian and US dealers reselling the original packaging on ebay , and I assume it's from graded coins. @ Arianzo I just thought you were coming from a collector, who wants the original packaging to go along with your coin. It never occurred to me in regards to a counterfeit slab. I know this does happen, I doubt it does for the cheaper coins. You have definitely brought up some interesting points to consider. |
